There's a bit of discussion in the 2019 rollout thread.

The ALR occupies virtually the same product slot as the Emonda SL. The rim brake version is only grams heavier and the disc brake version is actually lighter than its Emonda SL counterpart. My guess is both a revised Emonda SL and Madone SL will be introduced with OCLV 600 carbon next year.

You have the "older" 2016-2018 Emonda ALR though, right?

Yeah, thought the same thing, frame stickers may help.

Some serious hydroforming going on with that top tube... welds around the seatpost junction look smooth as. Looking forward to more pics all-around!

And yeah that colour does look ace.
