Originally, I was nervous that because I had such high expectations the bike would not live up to it. However, I was wrong. The ride quality is SUBLIME beyond my expectations. Not sure if I have any better word to describe the sensation.
All the road buzz is so well-absorbed that every ride feels like a “buttery smooth magic carpet ride.”
Steering geometry is really awesome with a good mixture of responsiveness and stability. Together the whole bike flows so well in and out of each turn. Wherever I point the front-end at the rear-end will just follow directly. This is super nice on trails as I navigate around obstacles/choosing lines.
The fit is spot on as well. All the contact points are super comfortable.
