Trek Madone Size Chart

Madone uses Trek's road alpha letters, not centimetre labels, and Trek publishes the Madone table separately from the brand-level road chart. The two disagree on S and M: Madone S is 50 cm where the brand chart says 52, and Madone M spans 52-54 cm where the brand chart says 54. Read the Madone table on this page before translating a size.

S

5'2"–5'4"

50 cm

158–162 cm

Half-step between M and L for riders who fall in the overlap.

L

60-62 cm

188–199 cm

Inseam 88–100 cm

Highest standover in the range.

Sizing notes

Why height alone is not enough

Riders with the same height can need different sizes because inseam, torso length, flexibility, and preferred handling differ.

3 checks

  1. Madone is Trek's aero road platform. Trek publishes the Madone sizing table separately from the brand-level road chart, and the two disagree on M: the Madone table says 52-54 cm while the road chart pairs M with 54 cm.

  2. Trek publishes both a rider height range and an inseam range for every Madone size. When they point at different rows, inseam and standover decide it.

  3. Stack grows faster than reach across the Madone range: XS to XL adds 103 mm of stack but only 32 mm of reach, so stepping up a size raises the front end more than it lengthens the cockpit.

Madone SL 7 size chart FAQ

Short answers for Trek Madone SL 7 sizing.

What size Trek Madone should I ride?

What frame size is a Trek Madone L?

Trek lists Madone L as 58 cm, covering riders from 179–188 cm with an 84–88 cm inseam. It is the largest size that still pairs with a single centimetre label; XL spans 60-62 cm.

Is Trek Madone M the same as 54 cm?

Trek's Madone sizing table groups M under 52-54 cm, while the brand-level Trek road chart pairs M with 54 cm. Both are Trek publications, so read the Madone table on this page for this frame and confirm the year before buying.

How tall is a Trek Madone ML for?

Trek publishes ML for riders from 173–179 cm (5'8"–5'10") with an 81–84 cm inseam. Trek lists ML as 56 cm, and it adds 16 mm more stack than M while reach grows only 5 mm.
