Summary:
Classification "Recreational Rider" is very limiting. For a recreational rider, I ride hard. Landscape is quite hilly. The KOM was chosen after multiple bikes were tested. The bike is incredible. The frame is stiff, so the bike is extremely fast. Also, the bike climbs incredibly well. Basically, it does everything it's supposed to, and it does it darn well. I like it more as time goes by.

Strengths:
Stiff frame, extremely light (frame 1.9 lbs, complete bike is sub 14.8 lbs), fast, handles well, and climbs very well. Carbon Fiber is extremely high quality - same carbon fiber as Formula 1 car bodies use.Don't see yourself much - not many out there.

Weaknesses:
The bike can occasionally be harsh when going over certain bumps or road holes, and it's sometimes hard to know which ones they are.
