We had my wife's 2014 Amira with us and her bike was definitely much lighter even with her seat bag on it.
I'm going to be very disappointed if her new Emonda isn't at least as light as her Amira.
In fairness, neither prioritizes weight - Madone focuses on aero and the Domane on comfort. The Emonda has traditionally been their lightweight, climber's bike, so hopefully it'll come in competitively.
