I have the Fastroad SLR and I'm loving it. I've had a Giant Escape and Fuji Absolute prior to this hybrid and must say this is truly a "flat bar road bike". I'm just as fast on this bike as my Giant Defy. The ride is very comfortable plus it looks great!
Hope this helps

I do group rides with roadies who have super expensive carbon road bikes $4000+ and I have no problem hanging with them in our fast group. It doesn't slow me down at all.
I have a 2015 CoMax 2 and have been thinking about selling it to get a 2018 CoMax 1.
It's basically a road bike with flat bars is all it is. I did change out the tires from 25mm to 28mm and it made a world of difference on bumpy sections of roads.

I got the Fatsroad Comax 1 2018, I've had it for 6 months now, and I love it, to me, seems very fast and the 105 groupset works very smoothly, very crisp when changing gears,
I had one puncture, and the tubeless tires did their job, the sealant plugged the hole, although I did have to replace the tire. Mine came with 28mm AC1 tubeless tires, ( there has been some debate as to what pressure you should run them at, on the Giant video, the guy says run them between 85 -125 psi as marked on the tire )
They only thing I am looking to change is the saddle, to me, it is not the most comfortable, but I don't ride with bike shorts, I find the Selle SMP saddle on my Trek DS 8.5 a lot more comfortable.
I wanted a rear mirror extending from the bar ends, but the LBS said it was not possible unless I changed the grip and bar ends.
