Exceptional blend of comfort and performance
Superb vibration damping and precision handling
Adaptable design with aerodynamic frame features
Excellent at maintaining speed and efficiency
Generous tyre clearances and integrated details
Middleweight wheels and noisy rotors
Basic Fulcrum wheels add weight
Press-fit bottom bracket might not appeal to all
Handling requires some muscling due to long trail
It’s a luxurious endurance bike that I’d hold in the same high regard as Trek’s Domane, Cannondale’s Synapse and Specialized’s Roubaix for its sublime smoothness.
