Team Radio Shack uses the new bike Trek Madone SSL 6.9. All bikes are characterized by a degree of customization done by athletes, particularly at the saddles, very rough, however, the painting. The frame is the same used by the Leopard-Trek team and has a declared weight of just over 800 grams. The bike Radio Shack team is different for the assembly that he sees the use of the Sram Red group adopted for the controls, brakes, sprockets, crankset, chain, front and rear derailleur. Some cranks are equipped with SRM power detector. Pedals Look Keo Carbon Blade, while stem, handlebar and seatpost are Bontrager. Extensive customization of saddle that can be Bontrager, Selle San Marco or Selle Italia. Also the wheel hubs and rims carbon fiber Bontrager are. There remains the interesting DuoTrap sensor, invisible, revealed that speed, cadence and distance and is compatible with SRM power detector. Unfortunately, a failed graphics, a fair approximation in the production and assembly do not do justice to a great bike.
