Madone SL 5 Gen 8

It offers similar aero benefits to the pricier Madone SLR Gen 8, but with a more economical OCLV 500 Carbon layup and two-piece cockpit with hidden cable routing.

It's built to race, with geometry that keeps you quick on the sprints yet in control on fast descents.

A 12-speed Shimano 105 groupset keeps the price down while still delivering clean mechanical shifting you can trust.

The Madone Gen 8 can fit up to 32mm width tires for more comfort and better grip on the road.

SHIMANO 105 reinvigorates road cycling with its completely refreshed interface and premium 12-speed mechanical shifting.

• The new ergonomic Dual-Control Lever design fits a wide range of hand sizes and shapes while reducing the distance from the hood to the lever. This enhances leverage and delivers better control with less effort
• With a new piston design, race-ready braking is now available for even more riders. The new SHIMANO 105 braking system allows riders to progress in their cycling journey by learning the joys of braking and pushing their limits.

With shift technology inherited from mechanical Ultegra and Dura-Ace, Shimano 105 gives you top-shelf shifting at a budget friendly price. Whether you're commuting year-round or training for the big race, Shimano 105 is a workhorse drivetrain that won't hold you back as you grow in the sport.
