  1. This bike has become my favorite bike ever. Moving from 2010-2013 era geometry to this subtle change created feeling of the bike fitting like a glove. As I slalom between the desert cacti, the handling feels smooth and effortless, like watching Mikaela Shiffrin between the gates. So fun to haul-ass.
