Nope. Honestly for crits I like the old 2004 trek 5200. It’s my lightest bike and cost me nothing to build. Running old Ultegra triple 9 spd on it.

The 2013 madone is aluminum. The geometry is a little slacker than the 2022 emonda. It is lighter than the 2022 emonda.

The 2022 emonda can take wider tires, it’s also disc.

I pick bikes based on the race environment. Typically use the emonda if the road is going to be rough or wet, the madone for smoother roads, and the trek 5200 for everything else.

Buy and race what you can replace. The 5200 was free, the madone was 200 dollars.


I plan on getting the new emonda alr frame, once that happens I will probably only do road races with it and not crits.
