If you would have asked me a year and half ago which one I’d buy, I would have said the madone, but since the new Emonda has come out, I would definitely go with one of those.
yes, before 2021 I was madone fan, but after this new emonda was released, I replace mi old madone for a new Emonda 2022, Madone is sexy but Emonda is a sensual bike.
Madone is faster, I have an Emonda SLR but struggle to stay with the fastest people on the downhills who have aero bikes. Flats are fine and we are evenly matched but climbing I take the cake, huge, no one comes close on a climb. FYI I use flats, don't laugh, everyone is shocked.
I think the Aero makes a difference at higher speed, the faster you go the more it counts but when I Tried the two bikes I liked the Emonda's responsiveness and just... "elan". It seemed to want to do what I tell it more instantly so much better, a far more playful bike. It's great for just tossing around curves, accelerating and braking, perhaps not maintaining but transferring momentum from one energy state or the other better. The Madone is more stable but doesn't want to change line in corners. You point and it goes and keeps going but it doesn't want to change what its doing so if you're going fast it wants to keep going fast, it won't turn as quick, you feel the pressure shoot you forward on the pedals a bit less. It maintains energy a bit better but doesn't change energy as quick. They are both fantastic bikes; the Emonda feels more like a 2 door sports car, the Madone like a powerful turbo Mercedes or BMW sedan if that makes sense. Being an "aggressive" cyclist I chose the Emonda.
That makes complete sense to me. Thanks for the detailed comment.
@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre Simply put, the Madone is probably better for people who live by the numbers on Strava and "feel the speed". The Emonda is better for riders who just like to rip roar and "feel the power". But perhaps the final thing that did it for me is that I live in hilly country with lots of wind. And the Madone dies in wind. Those big dish tires just get you sent everywhere because the only time the Madone does well in wind is when you're riding directly into it. But the slightest crosswind and the Emonda's lower profile wheels help. A lot. Emonda was made for the hills and mountains not just for climb...
Thanks for the detailed comment. I love your explanation: the Emonda feels more like a 2 door sports car, the Madone like a powerful turbo Mercedes or BMW.
@@user-if4sh4fe1f Yup. Madone is for very high speed steady cruise down an autobahn. Emonda is for tearing up a curvy mountain road. Depending on your riding personality that is the delination. I liked the Emonda better and LOVE it for attacking hills and mountain passes.
Agree 100%
Very concise good video. When you took the time to compare the geometry of the bikes, that’s telling. I would’ve thought the Madone was more sleeker & put you into an even more tucked riding position. Thanks
I’m a glad it helped.
Thanks to your review, I bought the speedflow+ whitespark pack!
Great. Super happy to hear that. Hope they’re performing well for you.
I love the look of both of these and the project one colours are sweet.
Yeah I totally agree
Thanks for the video I have an Emonda and was concerned I have bought the too racey bike. I was thinking maybe I should have got the madone. Your fit chart shows there is no difference. Thanks for making that clear.
No problem. I hope you enjoy it
I think you given an informative video and thanks. I would like to know which bike would be good for me. I live in Florida all flat of course and haven’t ridden in years with a 2007 Madone 5.2 SL because of a heart attack. I am 55 years old and thinking a Cervelo s5 or r5 or Madone or Edmonda. No sprints, no racing just cruising the streets for the physical condition.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Given your scenario, I think the most important thing is choosing something you like the look of and something you find comfortable.
Great video. Thumbs up 👍
Thank you!
UCI weight limit of 6.8 KG was introduced in 2000. Climbing only bikes will make a comeback when the weight limit is lowered. The 56 cm Specialized S-Works Aethos with disc breaks is 5.9 KG
I don’t think pure climbing bikes will ever be without aero tech anymore.
But it’s a Specialized…sooo
What would you recommend for my first bike? I honestly like how the Emonda looks but I’m brand new and have never been on a road bike.
Emonda is a good option but it’ll be a more aggressive position. You’ll be stretched out and hands will be lower than the saddle.
Domane Alum. frame, if you are pretty new to cycling. Its forgiving and great intro bike
Agree
that what i choosse domane al4 gen 4 and now im looking at the emonda slr 6 , 1 year later.... biike is a drug 😅@@YeahRightWm3
hey Hello . sorry to bother you guys but i am in a really kinda stressful decision to make , i am about to buy my first road bike and
i cant decide if the trek domane al 4 or the trek emonda alr 4 , they are both around my budget.
Depends what you’re looking for. The Domane will put you in a more upright position and have larger tires offering more comfort. The Emonda will be a little more agressive in terms of its riding position and have quicker, agile handling
thank you very much for the quick response, really appreciated .
i already ordered the domane i will get it by november. my concern was if i can go fast on the domane no matter the weight and/or riding position of the emonda, and since i have lower back problems how would that hurt me on long rides etc .
i would love a thought on that thank you .
sorry for bad english, not my main language .@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre
You can definitely still ride the Domane fast and it’s probably the better choice for lower back pain as there is less reach on the Domane compared to the Emonda. Less reach means less stress on the flutes and lower back
@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre thank you . thank you , that's it ,, i have decided to go with the domane al4 ,
can't wait for it to arrive at the store ,
thank you very much .
Enjoy
Whats your length? Im considering a Madone but stuck between 54 and a 52
How tall are you? And do you have a bike now? If so what size
@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre im 1.74cm current bike is a 54cm
@TheGrantsterZA if the 54 currently fits you well then I would probably go for another 54. If you’re unsure, go on 99spokes.com and compare the geometries of your current bike and the new madone.
Venge is coming back and it’s going to be more bad ass and more $!!:)
Really? Where does that source come from
They are the same geometry
numbers are the are both the same H1.5 fit
Yes correct that’s what I was saying
What is the reason the emonda is so much better at climbing than the madone? I ride a decent amount of hills, but the madone sl6 is $2k cheaper than the emonda sl6 s
From what I’ve heard from others, it’s far more lively on the climbs. However, when this video was made, it was talking about previous generation madone.
Thanks for the reply!@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre
@k24a4accord of course
I've owned a 20 Madone SLR and a 21 Emonda SLR. Imo the Madone gives nothing up on the climbs but with the ISO speed is offers more comfort.
Interesting. That’s cool to hear
@victor
what differences do you see on the flats with the two bikes?
@@angelosaid1503 So using the same wheels back to back on both bikes the Madone is just easier to maintain speed. The faster you go the more rewarding the Madone is.
@@victorschepisi590 if you could only have one of the two would it be the madone then? Or do you ride in hilly areas or places with occasional steep climbs the emonda will balance it out?
My impression that the Madone may hold speed easier but the Emonda might feel more responsive and punchier. Does that make sense?
Edmonda would win but you can make the madone lighter. All depends if you are racin in a group or by yourself.
There are some many variables. The point of the video was not which one would win. It’s about what each bike offers in terms of feeling
@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre I ride a madone and it's more comfortable on the ass than the madone. I'm 52 and can ride it slammed easily in the drops for a 100 miles.
@@OFFSHOREDOUG Did you mean to write that your Madone is comfortable than the Emonda? Are you setting the IsoSpeed at the most compliant setting?
Trek is overrated ;)
Lol no it isn’t
@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre 1000 euro more for same components ? Cube , Giant , Canyon all three not so expensive but Lighter than Trek in the same range ;)
That doesn’t mean trek is overrated. And that depends where you live. The same components here do not have that big of a price gap between those mentioned brands. You’re getting an extremely reliable frame from a big brand that can support its customers with a variety of options and then actually get stock of components before some of these smaller brands.
Reeeeeeeee!!!
@@AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre Agree. Not to mention free lifetime servicing (certain stores in Aus) and I also appreciate the exceptional level of transparency for all their components on their website. All the specifications are listed in great detail, weight etc.. You dont get this with the other brands.
