The 2019 Domane+ is the electric version of Trek\u2019s popular Domane<\/a>, a bike highly regarded for its ability to smooth out rough roads. It\u2019s designed for riders who appreciate the reliable comfort of the Domane\u2019s endurance geometry and IsoSpeed decoupler but want the additional fun and function of an electric assist.<\/p>\n

At just under a claimed 38 pounds, the Domane+ is lighter than more utilitarian e-bikes, like the Trek Super Commuter+,<\/a> which can weigh upward of 50 pounds. That said, it\u2019s heavier than some of the newest entries in the electric road category, like the Orbea Gain, which use a smaller motor and battery system but also don\u2019t have as powerful an assist. The Domane+ offers 350 watts of power, while Orbea\u2019s Gain, for example, tops out at around 250 watts. Domane+ is a drop-bar electric road bike that makes longer, faster road rides possible. A carbon frame with IsoSpeed and a stable endurance geometry, a powerful Bosch drive system for speeds of up to 28 mph and a sleek design with integrated lighting features make Domane+ the ideal ride for cyclists who want speed, all-road performance and endless style.<\/p>\n
