2023 Trek Domane plus review

“Domane+ SLR doesn’t look, fit, sound, or feel like an electric bike. This natural-feeling performance e-road bike lets you enjoy a true road experience with fewer limitations thanks to a groundbreaking ratio of lightweight design and high-speed assist. It’s the lightest e-bike we’ve ever made, and the best way to enjoy more of what you love.”

A huge thank you to Trek Bicycles for kindly supplying this bike to aid in LGC’s recovery from injury!

Love or hate them, E-Bikes are here to stay, and they have many uses:

  • Enable a friend / partner who doesn’t ride as much to join their friends / partners who possess a higher level of fitness.
  • Athlete Recovery – The intended use of this review sample of the Domane Plus. JOM and the Lady Gravel Cyclist took a trip to Washington DC / Maryland / Virginia / North Carolina / Alabama / Georgia during November of 2022. The power of the Domane + helped LGC regain fitness, and comfortably ride with him every time the road tilted upward.
  • Gravel Use? Yep, this bike will fit 700c x 40mm tyres no worries at all (we tested it with Panaracer Gravelking SK 700c x 43mm)
  • Motor Pacing? Yep! LGC dragged JOM about the place on occasion, helping him garner some much needed high-end fitness.

2023 Trek Domane+ review

“The all-new Domane+ SLR weighs in at just around 11.8 kg thanks to a lightweight frame design and compact e-system. The TQ harmonic pin ring e-system is remarkably lightweight, quiet and compact while packing enough extra power for the most epic adventures.”
