Trek Domane AL 2 Gen 4 Lavender Haze 2027

Where it stands

Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but another bike in its price range is priced further below it in the sizes where both are in stock. That is the only reason it is not the pick.

The compromises

• 8-speed drivetrain, fewer gears than the 11- and 12-speed groupsets on most road bikes.
• Mechanical (cable) disc brakes rather than hydraulic.
• 10.35 kg, on the heavy side for a road bike; the ranking's reference weight is 8.9 kg.
