Trek Madone 2.5 (2014)

Trek's Madone 2.5 offers elite-level racing performance for those on a budget. Borrowing features from its carbon siblings, this bike's frame is rendered in lightweight aero-shaped aluminum, with a carbon fork. The bike handles with precision and power transfer to the rear wheel is seamless. Shimano Ultegra components make up the drivetrain, and parts from FSA and Bontrager round out the spec. A Bontrager tubeless wheelset is the finishing touch here.
