I don't find the 992 to be wippy at all, although in a race situation it might be. For the type of riding I do, I find it lively and responsive. The tubing is oval and tapered not unlike the Merckx MXLs that I've seen, so it's more rigid than the earlier 979's and 797's. You do feel a bit of road buzz but on decent roads it's a very willing and exciting bike to ride.
