Emonda is for weight weenies, here what matters is remaining with your bike in a good shape after the long miles , fast matters too
fast doesn't ... i believe in 6 hours Emonda will only make you gain at most 1 hour and no one can afford it
Elvo didn't indicate an 8 lb bike. You want to worry about 8 lbs of gear? 2 liters of water is 25% of that weight. I don't think any bike will have problems with 8 lbs gear. Unless that's the straw to break the camels back, so to speak.
