There is a new Trek ready for the roads. The company has introduced its high-anticipated 2013 Domane – which is Latin for King’s Crown. This new road racing bicycling will surely handle virtually any bump in the road. Designed for the rough road conditions found in the spring classics courses, it was developed with input from Fabian Cancellara, who won the Strade Bianche aboard the Domane in its race debut, and members of the RADIOSHACK NISSAN TREK team.
The Domane was designed to specifically address the problems of increased rider fatigue, rear wheel traction, and power efficiency over long courses with rough pavement, gravel, and cobblestones. It utilizes a unique technology called IsoSpeed, a functional decoupler that separates the ride-tuned seat mast from the top tube while maintaining power transfer. For the rider this means less pounding from the energy-robbing vibrations caused by varying road conditions, which can cause fatigue. The Domane is available now and from the early news sounds like it is worthy of a king’s crown!
