The Trek Domane+ ALR is Trek’s aluminum electric road bike. It looks like a regular drop bar endurance bike, but it carries a compact TQ HPR60 motor and a 360Wh battery, and it assists up to 28 mph. Trek sells two builds, and they share almost everything. The ALR 5 uses mechanical SRAM Apex shifting and costs $4,999.99. The ALR 6 AXS switches to wireless shifting and a carbon seatpost, and it was on sale for $4,899.93 when I checked. I haven’t ridden either one. Below I compare them to the Trek FX+ 7S, which uses a related TQ motor, and to the Velotric T1 ST, a light bike I filmed. Everything here comes from Trek’s product pages, checked on Oct 28, 2026 and linked at the bottom.
Motor, battery and class
The TQ-HPR60 is rated at 60 Nm, with 250W continuous and 350W peak. Trek lists three assist modes and describes the system as compact and quiet. It’s a Class 3 bike. Pedal assist runs to 28 mph, and Trek doesn’t list a throttle. Some paths are closed to Class 3 bikes, so check our e-bike laws hub and the Class 2 vs Class 3 guide before you ride there.
The battery is a TQ 360Wh pack, and the bikes ship with TQ’s 2A charger. Trek doesn’t give a range for the bike by itself. On the ALR 6 page, Trek says that adding the optional 160Wh Range Extender, which fits in a bottle cage, gets you about 120 miles total in Eco mode. The TQ display connects over Bluetooth and ANT+. In the Trek Central app you can see your range, track rides, tune the motor and navigate.
Frame and fit
The frame is Trek’s 300 Series Alpha Aluminum, with a Domane+ carbon fork. Trek calls the geometry Road Endurance, which is a bit more upright than a race bike. The frame has hidden fender mounts, rack mounts, frame bag mounts, internal cable routing and a UDH derailleur hanger. Trek says it clears tires up to 40mm wide as measured. Both builds ship with Bontrager Kwaremont Pro 700x32 tubeless ready tires on Paradigm 23 rims. That leaves room to go wider for light gravel.
Trek lists 31.73 lb for the ALR 5 and 31.4 lb for the ALR 6, both in size ML. The total weight limit is 275 lb, including the bike. Sizes run XS to XL. Neither bike comes with pedals.
ALR 5 vs ALR 6 AXS
- Shifting. The ALR 5 has mechanical SRAM Apex XPLR 1x12 with an 11 to 44 cassette. The ALR 6 has wireless Apex XPLR eTap AXS.
- Brakes. Both use SRAM hydraulic discs with 160mm rotors. The ALR 5 has Apex D1 brakes, and the ALR 6 has Apex AXS.
- Seatpost. Alloy on the ALR 5, carbon on the ALR 6.
- Rear hub. The ALR 6 has a Rapid Drive 108 rear hub with a SRAM XDR driver.
- Tubeless. Sealant comes with the ALR 6.
The prices nearly line up. On Oct 28, 2026, the ALR 5 was $4,999.99 at full price, and the ALR 6 was $4,899.93 on sale from $5,499.99. Stock was the real difference that day. The ALR 5 had 10 of its 12 size and color options in stock online. The ALR 6 had only one: an XS in one color. Prices and the ALR 6 stock were the same on Nov 3, when the ALR 5 had 9 of 12 options in stock.
How it compares
Against the Trek FX+ 7S: it’s a flat bar bike with a TQ-HPR50 motor rated at 50 Nm, the same 360Wh battery size and 28 mph assist. Trek lists it at about 41 lb in size M, and it was $3,199.93 on closeout on Oct 28, 2026. The Domane+ ALR is about 10 lb lighter as listed, has a 60 Nm motor and uses drop bars. The FX+ 7S comes with a rack, and the Domane+ ALR doesn’t.
Against the Velotric T1 ST, which I filmed: it has a 350W rear hub motor, a 353Wh battery and Class 1 assist to 20 mph, and it weighs 36 lb. Both bikes have small batteries and are light for e-bikes. The Domane+ ALR adds a mid drive motor, drop bars, 28 mph assist and a carbon fork, and it costs a lot more.
Trek’s carbon Domane+ SL Gen 5 starts at $6,499.99. It uses the smaller 40 Nm TQ-HPR40 motor, and Trek lists its top SL 9 build at 24.26 lb in size ML. If you want to save weight, that’s the next step up. If you want more torque for less money, the ALR is the one to look at.

Pros and cons (from the specs and sources)
Pros: about 31.5 lb as listed; 60 Nm TQ motor with 28 mph assist; clears 40mm tires; fender, rack and frame bag mounts; carbon fork; optional Range Extender; ALR 5 widely in stock.
Cons: 360Wh battery; no range figure for the bike by itself; 275 lb total limit; no pedals; ALR 6 almost sold out online; Class 3 limits some paths.
Who it’s for
On paper, the Domane+ ALR suits road riders who want a light drop bar bike that helps on climbs and long days, with room for wider tires and fenders. If you want flat bars, a rack and a lower price, the FX+ 7S is closer to what you need. Pick the ALR 5 if you want it now. Pick the ALR 6 if your size is in stock and you want wireless shifting.
