Yes it is. I hated Aluminum prior to this bike. My first bike was a Trek 1200 and I almost gave up cycling because of it. It beat me to death. I went with carbon, steel and Ti and then took a chance on this bike as I liked the looks of it. It rides as good or better than any bike I've ever had. Very, very comfortable. I'm impressed with it, but don't understand why it rides as well as it does. It does have a beefy carbon fork though.
