"So far, exactly what I was expecting and a few good things I was not. The cassette is an 11 speed and has one more low gear than my road bike (11/28 vs 11/25). So far however I have not had to use the 28. The combination of better aero and power means I am climbing better. More specifically, my lungs are working just as hard but my legs are not. I seem to have a lot more left after a climb that would fatigue my legs on my road bike.



On the flats I can really notice the difference in aerodynamics. I am riding one gear higher with slightly less effort. It feels really good.



Right now I am riding a bit slower on the down hill portions of my ride but that is by design. I am still getting comfortable with the speed an handling. Every ride feels a little better.



Bottom line, I love the bike. It's fast, smooth an I want to ride it.

The bike was put together by the retailer and road tested before packing it back up and shipping to me. Fairly straightforward completion. I would have given it a 5 except you have to cut the seat post as only two inches or so can go into the seat tube.

In a word...FAST. Very smooth shifting, feels lighter than my road bike even though it is a bit heavier.

I am riding the second bike they sent me. The first one had some carbon residue in the seat tube so the post would not go in properly. Also the bike did squeak a lot. I had to go through and tighten everything up. The bike does seem solid now.

This bike has a lot of adjust-ability. Spent four hours with a bike fitter to dial it in right but it feels great.

Everything is good except the stock saddle. It come with a Selle Italia SLR Monolink which isn't working that well for me. I will switch it out for something more to my liking.

Seriously amazing. The stem that holds the bars can rotate up 90 degrees and comes with four different lengths to give you more length or height.

So far so good. Probably too early to speak to this.

(5)

Considering the price I paid I think it's a good value. I looked at the bike last year but couldn't pull the trigger at $5000. However at $2800 I couldn't pass it up.

(5)

Highly subjective but I love it.

(5)

Don't have a ton of miles on it yet but this bike is fast. Hopefully in short order my skills will allow me to get the most out of the bike. This is my first tri bike.

Great ability to adjust the bike ti get a perfect fit. Smoooooth shifting. Very responsive.

Maybe it's just getting comfortable with it but the only shifters are at the end of the aero bars. No shifting at the brakes.
