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