The bike is beyond great. It feels like I have been riding the bike for many years. No soreness or stiffness that often comes when changing bikes furthermore I have less fatigue in the lower back and arms after a long ride, I only noticed I use my upper legs (thigh muscles) more than on previous bikes. It handles and responses like I want to, thus I am way more confident to take ‘sharp’ turns. And overall it feels like it easier to get to and maintain a higher speed than before. And it still looks great too ;)”
