Well the all new Madone from Trek has been released. They have increased the 68mm bottom bracket to a 90mm one. This will strengthen the tubing around the region as will it increase the efficiency of your drivetrain. They have also increased the strength within the fork. The frame has also gone under many improvements as well. The junctions between the exist on the frame have increased in diameter and stiffness. Now its 25o grams lighter with a weight just a little over 1400 grams. Some real interesting addition Trek has made it is the integrated speed sensor. They have created a space within the fork to place the sensor in it to increase the aerodynamics and a cleaner look. If you would like to see more information on the Madone visit Treks website at trekbikes.com
