What I like so far: The Countervail technology in the frame does a good job at taking some of the harshness out of rough roads. I can ride farther and not feel so beaten up. But then the frame geometry is not a pure racing bike because it is an “endurance” bike with longer chain stays. More like a gravel bike. The Ultegra gruppo works flawlessly. Disc brakes are great.
Dislikes: Steering is not as quick as my racing bikes and takes some getting used to. The bike is not super light, 17lbs, but still performs better than my heavier bikes for climbing and accelerating. Again if you are looking for a racing bike, you need to go up a level. I was looking for comfort, racy looks and a good all rounder.
