at roadbikereview.com c Favorite Ride: Every one, especially the long ones. Bike Setup: Syntace C2's with Dura Ace bar end shifters & profile bullhorns. Reynolds Ouza Pro all Carbon fork, Weyless carbon cranks with 54 x 39 rings. DuraAce front, rear & Bottom bracket, Ultegra calipers. Campy Zonda training wheels with Zipp 303 tubular race wheels. Speedplay X-1 pedals, oh and WTB Rocket Stealth saddle. Summary: Just an incredible ride. I've ridden almost everything there is. Trek OCLV,Trek Yfoil, Kestrel 200ems, Specialized M4, Airborne Spectre, Griffen Vulcan and others. I can ride this bike faster and in much more comfort than all the rest. Strengths: Smoothness of pedaling. The Rocket really offers little to no flex or bounce, however it favors a more powerful pedal stroke. In otherwords, a bigger gear with slower cadence. I can ride this bike faster with less effort. Weaknesses: The frame is probably a pound and a half heavier than most of the lightweight frames available, but who cares if you can go faster on it? Similar Products Used: Kestrel 200ems, Trek OCLV 5500, Trek Y Foil, Airborne Spectre, Griffen Vulcan etc.
