If Emonda and SL7 look the same for you, you should get your eyes checked.

Really appealing looking bike. The Integration of the bottles is very smart. Wheel choice is really not the best, as discussed earlier.

you guys seen any other pictures than the ones posted here? because I can't really see much difference to the current model. (I can't even see the bottlecage clearly)

Looks like no focus on aerodynamic. Downtube still pretty wide and oval.

The more I study both this and the SL7, still leaning towards the 7 as what I want is a light aero bike rather than an aero light bike if that makes sense?

Another sneaky pic. To my eye it looks way too similar to the Roadmachine. A more aggressive STA, a more aero fork, top tupe with less sloping..

But why are cables visible?

It's a lower tier model without the ICS stem I guess.

looks largely the same except for the more bladed fork, the DT looks still very oval from other angles but here you can see the top slightly square off as it transitions to the bottle cage portion, then of course the new bar-stem which looks very much oval

Def looks more like what they have done with the Emonda (aero touches).. I think the TMR is safe

Only the "lower" tier seems to be visible for now
7.7kg for the top tier carbon with Force AXS and shallow wheels? Hmmmmmm... Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems like it's heavy. Emonda equivalent (SLR7) would be fairly lighter and have deeper wheels.. Heck even the Emonda SL7 with lower tier carbon and cheap components is only some 250g heavier than that.
