Strengths: Handling, looks and comfort.Weaknesses: SeatBottom Line: I have a 2010 Trek Madone with Sram Rival. I have been using Shimano and the Sram was really easy to get used to. Shifts as well as the Shimano. Overall the bike is really fun to ride and go fast on. At first I thought it was a little too responsive but now I have gained confidence handling it and have hit 40 mph on desents. Easy to cruise at race speed 20 mph. Climbs very well, good power tranfer. My bike is blue and white with Sram Rival compact components. As I said didnt take much getting use to and shifts well. Replaced the tires (too many flats) and seat (personal preferance).

Strengths: Totally superb ride.Weaknesses: Very poor attitude from Trek following a low mileage fault.Bottom Line: 2011 bike, initially very very pleased with bike, geometry is spot on where after 40 or so miles on my old Dawes back ache started, no problem with this bike. Gearing perfect (mine is a triple_). Only problem is after just short of 3 months and 375 miles one of the links on the chain splayed apart and jammed the rear mech. This caused the mech to break off and buckle the wheel as well as chip the finish off the rear fork. No problem I thought as the bike is new and still under warranty. However unbelievably Trek just do not want to know, nor do Shimano who's chain failed! luckily for me the selling dealer All Terrain Bikes in Salts Mill who supplied the bike said they would take the cost of repairs on the chin (but try to claim from Shimano). However I don't feel this is fair on them, I am sure Trek have made far more out of the sale than they did! So zero marks to Trek on this issue and Full marks to All Terrain. I will certainly purchase my replacement 2nd bike from All Terrain, but it certainly won't be a Trek!!!!

Strengths: Geometry, Ride, performance and handling. Also, the Trek warranty.Weaknesses: I just don't like the fact that the Madone 4.7 is not made in the USA. I loved thae fact that my old Trek frame had the "hand-built in the USA" on the frame. I think all of the 4 series Madones' are made in Taiwan now.Bottom Line: Had a Trek 2300 frame that cracked so Trek offered me the 2010 Madone 4.7 frame at the crash replacement price. I simply moved all of my Ultegra components from my old bike to the Madone. While I loved the my old ride, I must say I really love the Madone and the move to all carbon. Ride, geometry, compliance and performance are all a significant step up. I love this bike and recommend it to all who ask. I have over 2000 miles on the frame now.
I have to really hand it to Trek and their warranty support through their dealers.

Strengths: Great value for money. Super fast, super light and agile.Weaknesses: Wheels and hubs. I lost 4 spokes on my rear on one of my front before I replaced both. Minor paint issues.Bottom Line: Mine is a 2010 but it's not an option. My first carbon bike it's smooth fast and handles wonderfully. I'm at the maximum weight for this bike and it gets better as I drop the pounds. It's easy to cruise along at 30-35KPH on this bike which helps eat up the miles. 2000 and counting so far this year.

I am a heavy rider a 245 lbs and the bike is very compfortable and corners well.Weaknesses: The saddle was upgraded to the RXL after 200 miles.
