Trek claims to have shaved nearly 2kg from the new Domane+ SLR by using its top-level carbon frame material for the first time on an electric bike, alongside a lightweight motor system.<\/p>\n

The Domane+ SLR is Trek\u2019s first electric bike to use its highest-grade 800 series OCLV carbon. The frame is a claimed 700g lighter than the previous Trek Domane+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The brand says the compact TQ HPR50 ebike system, used on the Trek Fuel EXe<\/a> electric mountain bike, also helps reduce weight.<\/p>\n

The Domane+ SLR now has clearance for 40mm tyres (or 35mm with mudguards<\/a>), up from 38mm. It also shares the rear IsoSpeed system and a number of other frame features with the non-assisted Domane.<\/p>\n

Trek says the Domane+ SLR\u2019s TQ HPR50 ebike system has a 360W\/h battery to provide assistance up to 28mph in the US and 25km\/h in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The battery has a claimed range of 100km in Eco mode and charges fully in 2.5 hours, according to Trek. The battery can\u2019t be removed.<\/p>\n

The 160W\/h range extender is sold separately for $599 via local Trek dealers. It adds about 50km of battery life, according to Trek, and fits into the seat tube bottle cage.<\/p>\n

Trek says the TQ system has a 300-watt motor and delivers 50Nm of torque, which is less powerful than the 55Nm offered through a Fazua Evation motor on the previous Domane+.<\/p>\n

The TQ motor\u2019s three assist modes are controlled with shifters on the hoods, and the modes themselves can be customised in the Trek Central app, according to Trek.<\/p>\n

The Harmonic Pin Ring system (HPR) is built around the bike\u2019s bottom bracket ball bearings, according to TQ.<\/p>\n

The brand claims this simpler system virtually obscures the motor and is quieter, more efficient and more reliable than other electric bikes<\/a>. The majority of systems use an electric motor, belts, cog wheels and gears to transmit power.<\/p>\n

Trek adds that the Domane+ SLR is one-and-a-half to two times quieter than its previous electric road bikes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like the new, unassisted 2023 Trek Domane<\/a>, the Domane+ SLR has non-adjustable rear IsoSpeed situated at the top tube \/ seatpost junction.<\/p>\n

Trek says the Domane+ has the same fork, D-shaped seatpost and integrated cable routing as the Domane SLR.<\/p>\n

The Domane+ SLR has hidden mudguard mounts and its integrated RCS Pro stem is Blendr-compatible.<\/p>\n

This allows you to attach accessories such as bike computers<\/a> and road bike lights<\/a> to the stem while leaving your handlebar clear.<\/p>\n

The top tube display is one of few giveaways that this is an electric bike.<\/span><\/figcaption> Trek<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

However, the electric version doesn\u2019t have internal down tube storage or top tube bag mounts, in order to make room for the TQ display.<\/p>\n

Trek claims the Domane+ SLR\u2019s Q-factor<\/a> of 163mm gives a similar feel to a non-assisted Trek road bike.<\/p>\n

The Domane+ SLR\u2019s H2 endurance road bike<\/a> geometry comprises a taller head tube and longer wheelbase for more comfort and stability than the racier H1.5 geometry on the Trek Madone SLR 9 eTap<\/a>.<\/p>\n
