The Trek Domane caused a stir last year with its suspension concept; based on the innovative frame, there are also women's versions in three equipment variants. With the WSD geometry, the head tube is one centimetre longer, but otherwise the frame performs convincingly all round, as usual with Trek. The 5.9 version not only stood out in the test with its white and gold colour scheme, the test ride also left a lasting impression. The riders consistently praised the comfort of the bike from the handlebars to the saddle - there was nothing that seemed the least bit uncomfortable. The wide, smoothly rolling tyres also convey a very safe riding experience.
