DemoDay Product Review for S3 Ultegra
Reviewed by 3955 days ago
Excellent as a sprint bike or on the flats but wouldn't handle long distance or hills well.
Excellent acceleration and freewheeling.
Saddle was very hard and the handle bars were a bit too thin.

Fantastic handling bike, amazing value-11sp Ultegra is way better than my 10sp previous model Duraace.
Felt smooth, absorbed bumps nicely and no annoying creaks that many bikes seem to develop. 5 stars :)

This would be a great race bike. Very stiff and can be set up with am aggressive position. Looks good too. Only downsides are that it can be a little harsh on bumpy roads and would prefer stock Ultegra cranks.
Very stiff and fast feeling bike. Would be a good crit race bike. Nice looks.
Sometimes a little harsh

Great combo of s5 and r5, light and areo, stiff enough. I weigh 95kg and like to sprint, so the stiffness was important.

Toes kept clipping the front wheel too easily, made me nervous getting around slower traffic or fast chicanes.
Light. Aero. Stiff.
Toes hit front wheel easily.

I would be very happy to have this bike, but my preferences run more to the lightweight climbing bikes like the R5. Stylish design and glossy paint make this a very attractive bike to my eye.

Smooth ride, but stiff. Light for an aero bike. Would be an excellent everyday bike or good racer. Cl... Read more
Smooth ride. Light weight. Climbs and descends well.
High head tube. Saddle

This bike was light, nimble and fast. With some deep rims this would be a weapon. Good value with quality components, and the trusted Cervelo name
Stiff, sexy, nimble handling, comfortable bars
Saddle

Great, I'm in line to buy one! My wife will need more convincing.
Front end really planted. Super stable. Solid bb and felt really stiff.
Front chainrings rubbed a bit under power.
