It's an experience. You really have to pay attention to what you're doing.
I rode this one 2 miles at 20+ with a flat front and thought it was a rough road (chip seal).
Then I made a sharp R turn, or tried to. It's so light, it follows you into the ditch.
I also flipped this one 50 miles into a century, high-sided and "got air," broke my arm, but the bike was OK.
I think they'd have been pretty cool on the TdF if not banned, but the crashes would have been spectacular.
It's like having wheels clipped to your shoes, but you feel somewhat detached from them.
Light, stiff, fast, but as far as feeling really
in synch with the bike,
not.
