Strengths:    It's light (15 lbs), efficient, and extremely smooth. Compared to other bikes in its category, I figure I saved about $2,000.

Weaknesses:    None.

Bottom Line:   
I am so excited about my Fezzari CR5. I bought it a few months ago and have put a lot of miles on it now. It is exceptional. I am an avid cyclist and have owned several bikes, but this is the best I've ridden. I haven't written a review like this for a product before, but every time I ride it, I'm in love!!! I just had to write about it. I have had the hardest time getting a bike to fit me (I'm a woman). Most women's fit bikes didn't feel right. I talked to Fezzari and they customized a bike for me. Even after I got it, I had a question about saddle tilt. One of the guys went above and beyond spending 45 minutes with me telling me how to do some micro adjustments. I was a little nervous when I bought it because I couldn't test ride it first, but now I'm very happy in my choice. I love my bike!

Strengths:    Handling, stiffness, comfort, customer care!

Weaknesses:    none yet.

Bottom Line:   
I am an athlete on the U.S. Ski Team. My sport is Nordic Combined. About two years ago I came across Fezzari at a charity event I was doing to raise money for cancer. I was pretty interested at first glance. After speaking with one of the guys from the company, and seeing the bike in person I knew it was a good deal.

I test road the bike about a year later and loved it. The bike is very stiff laterally and comfortable to ride vertically. The most impressive thing for me was the way the bike handled. Very easy to keep speed in the corners without having to take unnecessary risks. The bike just feels more stable the previous bikes I have owned. The Fezzari fore Cr5 is super light for the price. Fezzari has put some solid thought and workmanship into the construction of the bike. The only thing I can say is go and check out he bike in person if you can because it will surprise you! The internet does not do it justice!

Plus its a smaller company so you know your bike will come with great service and customer care!

Strengths:    Extremely stiff laterally. Very efficient. Comfortable to ride. The custom setup that they did was great. I've talked to the Fezzari guys a few times and they are always responsive. They helped me fine tune the positioning over the phone and that made all the difference.

Weaknesses:    Absolutely none.

Bottom Line:   
I wanted to get a year under my belt of riding this bike before I did a review. I am blown away. The ride quality is fantastic, it's quick, and most important - my personal best times have come way down. Absolutely the best bike for the money out there. Fezzari makes a fantastic bike. My next bike will be a Fezzari mountain bike.

Strengths:    Stiff; Light; Great Climber; Smooth shifting, braking, cornering. Stable on descents. Comfortable.

Weaknesses:    Can't find any!

Bottom Line:   
This bike is phenomenal! I have spent the last several weeks riding the amazing Tri specific T5 and after having terrific results on that bike, I am now training for a road race on the Fore CR5. I am so impressed with the perfect combination of stiffness, speed and comfort on this bike! After spending the weekend climbing every hill I could find I was blown away with how great I felt and how well it handled...both in allowing me those well appreciated extra gears and efficient power transfer on the uphills, as well as feeling stable and controlled on the descents. After just a few days of riding this bike I am already loving it! I would recommend this bike to anyone looking for a great ride at a terrific value!

Strengths:    its stiffness and comfort. Fezzari really did there home work on how to build an extremely good bike for the public not just the pro's.

Weaknesses:    absolutely none

Bottom Line:   
I have been riding for about 8 years now and have been on many different bikes from obvious tri bikes because that is what I do and custom stuff from tri and road bikes. Honestly I have yet to have ridden such a great fitting and comfortable stiff bike as to the CR5. I have only ridden it a total of maybe 5 days and have already put over 300 miles on it and my body and legs feel great. I did most of those miles in the last 3 days. And the one day was a 8 hr 160 mile day of climbing over 14,000ft. The bike was amazing and I kept feeling stronger and stronger. I have never ridden compact cranks and I cannot believe the difference in my candence and my strength on the climbing I am keeping up and blowing by guys that are cat 2,3,4 guys that all they do is ride road. This bike and its detail and stiffness has blown me away, I think I have found my bike for life. The performance is amazing, it corners like a dream and accelerates like sports car. Your legs will seriously thank you and feel stronger and stronger the more you ride this bike.
