So as I understand it you can put two sizes larger tires on the Emonda versus the top end Madone. So does that make the ride quality and overall performance of a Emonda SlR 10 equal to or better than the Madone? With the consideration of long distant rides and extra rotational weight of the larger tires is it equal or does one better the other on all types of surfaces and terrain?
The small % that have both what are your experiences?
Brakes better on the Madone?
Thank you

Given that the new Madone has the ISOSpeed decoupler, I'd say that the Madone with 25c tires will probably have the smoother ride of the two.

I read somewhere that the Madone 9-series will accept 28mm tyres.
I have one on order, just waiting for delivery now...
