I road when I was looking around. The carbon fork and seatpost take a lot of the sting out of the ride. I'd recommend this bike to anyone. Overall bike is very efficient and smooth. Best aluminum frame I have ridden.
Weight is very light.
This bike climbs, accelerates, and rides extremely well. So, you've got the stiffness where it counts, and the comfort where it counts. This bike should be versatile anough to go the distance or go fast. Either way, you can't go wrong. That is why they are almost completely all sold out in Canada.
