Madone SLR Gen 8

Moved from a Gen 7 Madone SLR to a Gen 8 SLR with the same SRAM Force group. Finds the new frame much stiffer, which they prefer, and plans 30 mm tyres for comfort; the new sizing was odd and needed a shorter seatpost to reach their fit.

“Although the bike being stiffer was a problem to them I actually much prefer this and will just use bigger tires (30s) instead of stock (28s)”

Ordered a size S Madone SLR 7 Gen 8 after a test ride. Found the sizing spot on (a size M felt too big) and the power transfer excellent; also owns a Domane SLR 7 and an Émonda SLR 7.

“Have a S SLR7 gen 8 on order comes in this week. On my test ride the sizing was perfect! And the power transfer is amazing.”
