Summary
The Fuji SL series is celebrated for its exceptional lightweight design, often weighing in at sub-7kg, making it a standout for climbing and acceleration. Reviews highlight its stiff and responsive frame, offering efficient power transfer, though some note a twitchy handling that requires adjustment. The bike's ride quality strikes a balance between comfort and performance, with specific praise for its handling and cornering accuracy. However, comfort on long rides and component harmony are occasionally mentioned as areas for improvement.

It isn’t often that I pick up a bike and am almost afraid to ride it. Fuji’s 14.17lb/6.44kg SL 1.3 was a bike I’d been wanting to try since it was first announced back in August.
