Strengths:    Uphill : fast and snappy.
Descends: like a ghost.
Corners : It chooses the best lines. No sketchy feeling! Carves corners like a lightsaber through butter.
Flats : Fast, almost don't have to stand up to jump. The bike just rockets forward when I increase the power.



Weaknesses:    Me, the rider.

Bottom Line:   
Veloforma delivers 110%percent!

Well worth the price!

This is described as their do anything bike and it is! Don't let the description fool you, this bike is a workhorse, but it's not a Clydesdale. It's more Stallion!

I've had it for 2 days, and I'm blown away. Everything feels top notch. Even with campy centaur it still builds a 15lb bike (size Medium)!!!

This is the bike that makes it easier to work harder!!!

Next best thing to having a second pair of legs!

Strengths:    Ride quality. Light, responsive, like they say on the website. It's a do everything bike.

Weaknesses:    None so far.

Bottom Line:   
I love this frame! I have ridden a Colnago for the last 5 years and was going to buy an extreme C from Prestige cycles Online. But talk to Mark @ veloforma and he let me demo an Ultra. That's all I needed, I was sold within the first hour of my ride. Very comfortable (even at 130 psi) and stable ride. Classic geometry. Very stiff. Excellent power transfer. Fantastic ride. Stiff, fast and super comfortable. Handles likes it's on a rail, very safe feeling in descents. Very good climber. Very nice power transfer from pedals to wheels.
