SRAM’s Rival eTap AXS groupset performs impressively. It even has a storage chamber hidden underneath the down tube bottle bosses that’s large enough to store a spare tube, CO2 cartridge and multi-tool, plus it comes with a custom-sized tool wrap to stop any rattles. I like that the frame boasts some great practical features, including proper mudguard mounts (Trek has dedicated Bontrager mudguards for the Domane) and top-tube mounts for bento-box style storage. It’s an obvious nod to aero, though Trek hasn’t gone as far as the full integration seen on Cervélo’s Caledonia. The Domane frame routes the brake hose under the bar and stem, and around to the rear of the head tube (not dissimilar to how Cervélo routes its S-Series bikes). The traditional headset is replaced with a rocker cup located at the top of the headset that locks in the steerer tube laterally and, like the rear, allows the steerer to flex fore and aft, smoothing out the road. The Domane has evolved with a front IsoSpeed system that works in a very similar way.
