Absolutely! That Emonda SLR is I rode a Roubaix and now usually ride a Tarmac and a BMC SLR01. Even for rides over 50 miles, I prefer those, though the BMC has a more compliant ride. Most of my rides are mountain rides. I prefer lighter stiff bikes for climbing. For long flatter rides, I'd prefer an endurance bike, I guess. The only downside is no 28 tires. I don't use 28 tires but having that capability would be nice.
