Strengths: - Di2 (don't try it 'cause you'll want it).
- Accelerates well.
- Absorbs road buzz.
- Comfortable in any position on the bars.
Weaknesses: - External cable/wire routing
- 105 cassette and chain (come on Felt)
Bottom Line: I had an opportunity to demo this on the Ride the Rockies event this year. Tested it for a full day over 75 miles. It rocked. So I bought one. Been riding it for three weeks. It is in the "plush" category with a more relaxed geometry and taller head tube. It also fits me well and doesn't put stress on my neck or lower back while in the drops. It absorbs the road noise with the UHC Advanced MMC carbon frame, fork and seat post and Felt Devox carbon bars. It accelerates quickly and climbs like a dream - which is needed in Colorado in the mountains. But what really sets this bike apart is the Shimano Dura Ace Di2 drivetrain. It is so precise and instantaneous it makes shifting as simple as a touch - even under full load. Try one, you'll like it.
