Trek Domane 4.3
The highlight of the Trek is the elaborate carbon frame, which would almost be worth the total price alone. It is comparatively heavy, but apart from that it is technically top-notch and superbly finished.

The advanced Isospeed construction provides plenty of suspension travel on the saddle, there are eyelets for mudguards and an integrated sensor for speed and cadence. Added to this is the perfectly executed multi-coloured paintwork with glitter effect. The bike is characterised by its emphatically upright riding position. You have to like it, but if you want to sit as comfortably as possible and still ride a real racing bike, the Domane is a good choice. The equipment is heavy, but functional, durable and comfortable. Thanks to the carefully selected add-on parts, the rather high weight is easily forgiven. The wheels can also be fitted with tubeless tyres.

CONCLUSION Elaborate, detailed frame for an emphatically upright sitting position; simple but functional equipment
