While there are some similarities with the Trek Madone 6 series, OCLV Black Carbon is used in the frame rather than OCLV Red Carbon to bring the cost down.
Some features remain consistent in every model of the Trek Madone 5 series, including Bontrager Race X Lite forks and tires, with Bontrager Race Lite wheels. The saddle is Bontrager inForm Race Lite on a carbon seatmast cap, and the handlebars are Bontrager Blade VR on a Bontrager Race X Lite stem.
