Check out the brand new TrekBikes Domane+ SLR and Domane+ AL electric road bikes, weighing as little as 11.75kg and accommodating tyres up to 40mm wide. Plus, they really don't look like e-bikes cycling
which allows the seat tube to move independently of the rest of the frame. The idea is to smooth over bumps in the road for increased comfort and stability and to reduce fatigue.
At 163mm, the Domane SLR+’s Q-factor – the distance between the outside face of each crank arm at the point where the pedal attaches – isn’t much more than that of a non-electric road bike. Trek says that the 360-watt/hour battery will take you around 60 miles in Eco mode – there are three assist modes that you can change between via buttons mounted to the shifters – although it’ll depend on rider weight and the terrain, and around 90 miles with the optional 160-watt/hour range extender .The Trek Central app connects with Domane+ and provides customised motor tuning, activity tracking and real-time range calculations.
“Whether you need help to be able to ride on a group ride, with your social circle or with your partner, and you want to ride at the same exertion level as the rest of the group, [this bike can] provide the right amount of assistance to be able to do that,” says Jordan Roessingh.
