a Recreational RiderDate Reviewed: November 18, 2011
Strengths: Handling, ride, quickness, weight, looks.Weaknesses: None so farBottom Line: IGreat bike. Love the stiffness, handling, weight and acceleration. I don't find the ride to be too harsh at all. I find it to be as comfortable as my "comfort" carbon road bike. I have Reynolds MV32 UL and Easton EA90 SLX wheel sets that I use and both work great with the bike (obviously on the hills especially). Like the looks of the bike too, as someone else said, that "industrial" look.

a CommuterDate Reviewed: April 30, 2011
Strengths: Very Stiff, fast, efficient climber, sprinting, better timesWeaknesses: Painfully Stiff, somewhat scary on descentsBottom Line: Very stiff and fast. Replaced 10 year old carbon framed bike used for climbing and commuting to work. Got mine with Zipp 404 carbon clinchers instead of the stock aero wheels. Great climber, scary on descents and in cross winds. This could be the wheels fault though. Very stiff ride, get extra padding on bar tape. It is what it is - if you want a fast ride it's great, you want a daily commuter look else ware. I also think a little pricey for Taiwan frame.

Strengths: Superb power transfer. sharp handling, super light. Ultimate sprint weapon.Weaknesses: Ride is nice, at bit harsh on rough roads but no way around that with a bike of this stiffness level.Bottom Line: Had a 09 s-works sl2 previously, the sl3 is better handling and slightly stiffer front end when crit racing. BB stiffness is about the same (super stiff).
