It offers a comfortable ride with snappy acceleration and nimbleness, though some find its aggressive geometry and price point challenging.

Exhilarating speed and precision handling
Improved aerodynamics and stiffness
Comfortable ride with snappy acceleration
Simplified front end and easier adjustability

The S5 looks heavy, but it feels and rides so light.
VeloNewsOne of the best aero bikes on the market, especially if the aero claims are to be believed.
Cycling WeeklyThe miracle of this bike is that even in spite of all of those things, I can’t stop thinking about it.

The updated S5 is simpler, lighter, faster – and has an absolutely staggering ride.
Exhilarating ride, truly fast, stiff, sense of stability, predictable, and precision handling.
Heavy, expensive, simplified, but still complicated.

Takes outlandish aero design to a new level and is incredibly fast and fun to ride, but not as nippy or well mannered as a true road bike
Supremely fast
Head turning appearance
Wide tyre clearance
Did we say supremely fast?
A touch skittish in corners
Suffers in crosswinds
Divisive looks
