I went out of my way to get one of the last slr gen 7’s and it’s absolutely incredible, just put on some wake 6560 evos and they unlock the bikes potential even more!

I don't know if you move the handlebar so much because the bike is wobbly or is it because you ride that way

Good review... Would be a good comparison followup video to a similar spec Gen 7 back 2 back rides please 😉

What crank length are you running, and do you have toe overlap?

Considering getting a projext one myslef in size M. In 5'8 ish close to 5'9, how tall are you?

A most unusual and appealing colour scheme indeed. Jury is still out among many bikers about the seat stay junction treatment — the much-vaunted "aero advantage" of this is debatable (among the seriously educated, 'laughable' is a better turn). Protruding stack above stem needs to be fixed — this is a design aberration and a serious rider safety risk. Rest of bike, especially the SRAM Red is a dream!

Yes a beautiful bike. In person they are more impressive. If the 500 carbon SL editions wasn't sustainability more weight I'd get one.

can't believe an orange cost the price of 1/2 a super bike.

Damn! It IS beautiful, but slam the stem and get rid of the fkin extra stem stump!

I prefer the look of the previous Emonda. This latest "Madone" is just an Emonda with a hole underneath your butt. The prior (gen7) Madone was a looker.
