Loved the lightness and the great stiffness and compliance. Pure performance!

Very responsive and quick acceleration. New SRAM Red 22 compliments the performance perfectly.
Light, Responsive, acceleration, SRAM Red.

Great frame. Light, stiff, loves descending, very confident on the frame going down hills at high speeds. On the climb every pedal stroke surges the bike forward.

Felt very comfortable right from the start, smooth. This will be my next purchase because I want a bike to deliver on the hills.Read more
Light. Stiff. Good acceleration. Climbs and descends well.
Very simple look.

Took it for a spin up a small climb in the Adelaide hills, very comfortable and compliant but plenty stiff enough when accelerating up steep climbs and hairpins, great climber and easy to live with. I was sceptical about the 46cm wide bars at first but coming downhill they gave a lot of confidence.
Stiff, extremely light, ridiculously comfortable.
Expensive but the quality is there.

Love it. Only thing I didn't love was the gearing. Sometimes you don't know what gear you are in.
Very light. Nice to ride.

Aggressive position took a while to get used to (existing bike a little more forgiving so it would have been because not used to aggressive position).

Nice and fast on flats, responsive to power.
Tight, responsive, light, aggressive positioning
Vibration through front forks, probably because design is more aggressive than I am used to

Good ride. Did not get to do an extended climb or descend but appeared like it wanted to go no matter the incline.
Good geometry. Light but stable. Like the standard cable routing.
Could not find one

Very comfortable to ride especially if you were doing a long ride.
Overall nice bike to ride, price may be a issue with some consumers.
Very comfortable to ride, rough roads not a issue.
The set up may have contributed to small handling issue but not major
