Summary

Its US-made frameset, responsive handling, and elegant design stand out, though its price may be a barrier for some.

The flip side of the flip-chip
Handmade in Arkansas, USA
Lightweight 950g frame
Adjustable flip chips (front and rear) for geometry changes
Highly responsive handling in gravel mode
Packs personality with eagle logo and 'Made Here' lettering
Variety of color options and premium personalized designs
Entry-level complete bike price of $6735 is surprisingly cheap for American-made carbon
Frame is not routed for mechanical builds (only wireless drivetrains compatible)
Might not appeal to riders wanting separate bikes for each discipline
Limited tire clearance in gravel position (40mm) without 650b option
Frame price of $4580 is high for value-focused riders

Slick adjustable geometry is impressively quick and easy to operate, with tangible benefits in each mode.
Quick and easy geometry conversion, truly two-faced personality, very light, excellent stiffness, good ride quality, classically slick aesthetics.
Gravel mode geometry isn’t at all progressive, quirky stem design (though you don’t have to use it), slack seat tube angle in smaller sizes, quite expensive.
