Trek's Domane + ALR is said to have maximum continuous rated power 250 down from 350 from the originally introduced 2019 model. Seen the use of them increase exponentially since 2019 but in most cases it's usually a couple sitting upright on their balloon tire bikes doing over 15 mph... if I had one, pretty sure I'd probably lose the enjoyment I feel going that fast with a tailwind when I could pretty much do that anytime with a little auxiliary power and being a weight weenie wouldn't serve much purpose, let alone a racing saddle that's tough on the ischials. Might be fun enjoying a cigar while riding though (having a margarita in the water bottle)... could join a bike group and be the official draftee lead puller. Will probably open up the Bicentennial Bike Route from Oregon to San Diego for more riders (coast of Washington isn't that interesting).
