Trek have released details and images of their e-road bike for 2019, the Domane +.
The bike is described as ‘a performance electric road bike that lets you ride with faster groups, save time on commutes, and enjoy what you love most about road riding.’
The Domane+ couples Trek’s endurance race bike with a Bosch e-bike system that the company say delivers “Tour de France speeds at around-the-block efforts.”
The European model feataures a 500 Series OCLV Carbon frame that encases a 500Wh battery, a Bosch Performance Speed motor that sustains speeds up to 45kp/h, a Bosch Purion controller, a 1×11 SRAM Force 1 drivetrain, an alloy seatmast cap with integrated rear lighting and hydraulic disc brakes.
Trek say the Domane+ opens doors to new road adventures. “This e-bike showcases the best in new tech and advanced electric bike design. It’s capable, stable, fast, and a whole lot of fun,” they state.
Trek Domane + Top Features
- A ‘Removable Integrated Battery’ (RIB) system fully contains the battery in the frame.
- The Domane+ can sustain speeds of up to 45kph and travel up to 110km on a charge.
- An IsoSpeed decoupler absorbs bumps for a faster, smoother, more comfortable ride.
- The seatmast cap has an integrated rear Daytime Running Light that runs off the Bosch battery.
The bike is listed on the Trek website at $US6999 (around $9700).
