Trek adds Disc Brakes to Domane

Trek adds disc brakes to Domane line

05/02/2014

Domane 4.0 and 6.9 now available with increased stopping power

Just in time to combat the remaining spring weather across the northern hemisphere, Trek is announcing the addition of disc brakes to its widely acclaimed Domane line of endurance road bikes. Available since 2012 exclusively in a traditional road bike brake option, Domane now offers riders the option of traditional lightweight road caliper brakes or the all-weather versatility and consistency of disc brakes to make sure you have all the braking power you need, exactly how you want it.

In addition to the post-mount disc brakes, we have given the bike thru axles and Closed Convert dropouts. This means that the rear dropout spacing is 142 x 12 mm and the fork is 15 mm for maximum stiffness, steering precision, and rigidity, yet both are able to convert to traditional quick releases to maximize aftermarket wheel compatibility.

The Domane Disc 6.9 features Bontrager's brand new Affinity Elite Disc wheels. The tubeless ready Affinity Elite Disc offers consistent braking and all condition confidence. Lightweight, and built for performance, this tubeless ready disc road wheel features disc specific rims on interchangeable axles to allow for maximum compatibility. Learn about the new wheels in the attachments below.

The new disc brake option, available currently on Domane 4.0 and Domane 6.9, also allows for significantly more tire and fender clearance than previous Domane generations, further improving the already incredibly smooth ride and expanding the Domane’s ride capabilities.
