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?

Bottom Line:   
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.
