It feels stiffer than the Moots RSL. I like they are different. The setups are also different with Passoni's fork being stiffer and thicker than the Enve I have on Moots. Passoni's bottom bracket and rear triangle also feel stiffer.
Take all with a grain of salt - not sure how my impressions would stand in front of scientific measurements
I think Passoni is more stable at high speed yet the Moots is a bit better at cornering. This can be placebo since I know for a fact the difference in rake between the 2 bikes and what it is supposed to mean
Just keeping it honest.
Oh - on my maiden ride I dropped a watter bottle and ran it over... Sigh. It's still usable.
