Which model Trek for someone like myself? (Madone, Domane or Emonda?)

East or west Kentucky? If west I’d say Madone, east then Emonda, if the roads are very low quality and/or you might venture onto gravel then Domane. Perhaps also Domane if you just want a more comfortable position on the bike.

I have a 2020 Madone and it’s a bit more compliant than the 2017 Supersix HM she replaced. I had a 2013 Domane and enjoyed it a lot although the fitter I use these days couldn’t get the bars low enough so I sold it. The Isospeed has taken on a whole different shape since 2013 so I don’t think there’s any comparison for me to share worth taking into consideration. I live in the middle of a load of rolling hills, some of which do run a little steep but short. In my decision making the hills aren’t long enough to say the Emonda would make a big difference, if any, versus a Madone so I went the more aerodynamic direction. I didn’t consider the Domane at all as it wasn’t the type of bike position I was looking to get into again.
