I also own a Gen7 in the original quick silver color and much prefer the aero styling over this new bike. I understand the logic, but I’m partially a looks queen when it comes to my bikes. Got the Pinarello Grevil for gravel for much of the same reason.

At this price I prefer a Mazda 3. Crazy.

@@saaaleeeh To be honest I'm not sure. I would say it depends on your needs and riding style. If you have a way to test ride both of them I would do that, and then see which you prefer before making a purchase because of the price they're at. I have ridden several emondas over the years and have always personally preferred how they felt over the madone. I haven't ridden the latest generation of madone yet so I can't say anything to that one. But definitely if you have a way to test ride both of them do that first.

Thank you!!! I feel they will update especially as trek are moving to UDH. The domane AL has it, this new madone, images I saw at unbound the checkpoint has a UDH.

beautiful bike but a little disappointed on how much it weighs considering this is suppose to replace the Emonda, we're looking at a over 7.5kg bike (even with DA pedals) when competitors are looking at just UCI legal weights is just a little disappointing coming from a massive company like trek where ik for a fact they don't skimp out on R&D

We have seen this new "Madone" and in our honest opinion It seems totally an Émonda with the Isoflow system.😢

They messed up with size reduction. I’m in between. The small was to small and medium was to big - it felt ok but on a longer ride it wouldn’t be fun. My gen7 madone in the proper exact size is much better -

Why clamping at the seat mast? 😢.

Beautiful bike, but too expensive!!!

Another expensive tank is it a new dumbbell

Looks better than the predecessor, but the window in the seat tube is still silly and ugly despite having become smaller. The proprietary seat post is just impractical, and speaking of which: "ho came up with those stupid bottles that look they were made to contain detergent and can't even stand up for easy filling? The shit-ugly new Red group with its swastika-shaped crankset and toenail-clipping shaped brake levers compliment this design very well, and whoever pays the asking price for this wreck of a spaceship simply does not pay enough taxes! The paintjob is a true looker, though!

It started as the Émonda Gen 4, then they noticed that the aero was too similar to the Madone and decided to mix and match. At the end it does have much more from the Émonda than the Madone. I definitely would have chosen a complete new name and throw away the old naming.

That's totally false. 56 Frames Both: SL Émonda Gen 3 Frame/Fork = 1,629gr SL Madone Gen 8 Frame/Fork = 1,417gr Madone Gen 8 SL is 212gr lighter. SLR Émonda Gen 3 Frame/Fork = 1,141gr SLR Madone Gen 8 Frame/Fork = 1,146gr Madone Gen 8 SLR is 5gr heavier. With the SL you get a bike lighter than the Émonda with the same Aero capabilities of Gen 7. With the SLR you get a bike with the the same Aero capabilities of Gen 7 and as light as an Émonda.

But you are not even getting the 20k's worth of value as they are still being thrown out of the factories with oval BB holes. And for 20k i expect a perfectly round hole with the correct tolerances.

@@supermitendo9654 Couple of issues with your post. The first is obvious, i think. English is not your first language. If it is, you need to go back to school and demand your money back. Second issue is don't make assumptions about people. If i have issues with a bike's price this does not mean i cant afford it. It means i do not think it is good value for money. Chances are that the bottom brackets are not even round and within tolerances of an interference fit. Meaning it is oval. If you want to see how often expensive bikes are actual junk, then go to hambini's page here on youtube. He is a chartered aerospace engineer here in the UK. He on a regular basis gets bikes that are very expensive indeed and are pure junk if not bordering on the dangerous. Oval bottom brackets are as common as dog's pissing on tree's. Expensive bikes are not immune from his findings. Once again. When it comes to the high prices of bikes, all anybody can ever come up with to justify the price, is research and developement. So, please tell me how much research and developement goes into a motorcycle of equivalent price and do you think it is more, or less, research than a piece of slapped together carbon fiber? Carbon fiber is carbon fiber. There is no more research to be done on that. It is strands of thin carbon drawn into threads. You can only weave it so many ways. Once cut into shape and laid out in the mold it gets baked. There is not much labour involved in prepping and filling a mold that gets baked. The sanding also does not take long. And for that little work they want to charge me 12.500 pounds? Which in the UK is a down payment for a house in certain areas.

A step backward.

Heavy and ugly, good job ...
