"Great bike that makes you feel like a better rider than you are..... firm, smooth & fast..."Ricknotquick

(5)

Ease of installation

Totally set up at my bike shop! You buy it, they measure everything!

(5)

Ease of use

Ok I can not get used to not feeling the road! This bike is easy on the rear parts and feels very comfortable.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Too short of time to give to give any type of true depiction of the quality and durability of this frame. Looks good so far....

(4)

Fit

Fits as though the folks at Kuota knew I would be buying this frame. Fits so great that I could sit all day and pedal....

(4)

Comfort

Can't say it is as comfortable as my recliner at home but this is a smooth, stable, precise ride.

(0)

Adjustability

Don't know

(0)

Durability

Can't say yet! I have Mavic Ksyrium rims, Ultegra set up, FSA cranks, so the long term durability of the bike would be better in these components were upgraded....

(4)

Value

While the K-Factor was solidly in my budget and in my dreams. My wife found a great deal on a 07 Kaliber. She bought it for my birthday! Given that we spent a little more than I intended, I do know that there is no bike that I need to upgrade to. This bike is all the bike that I'll ever need.....and that's valuable!

(5)

Appearance

It's beautiful! No super rims like Zipp or Hedi, No D/A setup, no Norman Stadler in the saddle, but this bike is beautiful to me!

(4)

Performance

OK, I'm not in shape as I was this fall. I have only had three long rides. Based on those rides this bike is fast, smooth, responsive, and nimble on the road. 2-3 mph faster than my rode bike.

Strengths

Smooth, light, stable and comfortable.

Weakness

A little pricie but given the new Kuota KueenK, I bet prices will be coming down.
