Hi everyone,
I’m considering a used Trek Madone SL6 Gen 7 (2024 model) for $4,000 CAD. Here are the details:
• Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed
• Bontrager Aeolus Elite 50 wheels
• Continental GP 5000 tires
• Carbon integrated cockpit
• Size 56, excellent condition, ridden ~8 months
• Never crashed, fully maintained
It’s not the SLR version, and the 105 Di2 is not top-tier, but the bike is nearly new and high-end. The new price is around $5,500 CAD.
From an objective standpoint, considering price, condition, and components, is this a good buy?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Sound solid
I would like to get them under 30% new which is $3850, 33% is $3667. The asking price is the maximum the seller thinks it is worth. I would consider paying 4k, though it is worth checking what shops have on clearance. 15-30% discounts on new bikes are not uncommon in late fall and winter.
You can get a brand-new 2025 Gen 8 model at 20% off for about $3800 USD or $5400 CAD for all sizes. I wouldn’t be bothered with this one to be honest. Lots of 2025 bikes at a discount right now as the 2026 season is rolling in. I’d rather pay that extra more for a gen 8 and a full warrantee and being able to swap some components around at the lbs.
