I've logged over 2,200 miles of gravel and pavement on my 2014 (bought in 2015) without issues. Took a nasty tumble off my rack on the highway at 60mph. Picked it up, took it to the lbs and all they did was replace the bar tape and straighten/adjust a few things and it's been great since. It's been my primary commuter. Still running everything original including the tires. I did add the rack giant built specifically for this bike.
