The Denali does flex quite a bit when I go across the painted lines in the cross walk. You know when they just keep repainting over and over the lines until there 1.5" high and only maybe 16" apart. Other then that it takes bumps just fine.
And the bike is very nimble when it comes to high speed corners. I like a good steel frame, but down here in Florida the salt air and sweet cause the frame to rust very fast. So I wanted to get a Aluminum frame to get away from that problem. And the 7005 Aircraft Aluminum frame is stronger then the 6061 frame that most bikes use in they frames (by 10%). Which make the 7005 frame almost as strong as a steel frame. Also the 6061 Aluminum frames flex more then the 7005 frames.
I have 470.8 miles on the Denali in the past 19 days with one day off the bike.
