Lightweight and aerodynamic, the Madone SL 5 8th gen. offers access to race-level technology at an attractive price. It provides a similar aerodynamic advantage to the more expensive Madone SLR 8th gen., but consists of more economical OCLV 500 carbon and a two-piece cockpit with internal cable routing. Built for racing, it features geometry that promotes speed in sprints while maintaining confidence and control on descents. The Shimano 105 group keeps costs down while delivering reliable and precise mechanical gear shifts.
