Superlight bike on solid platform

Bike is crazy light with mine at 25lbs. Everything is CARBON! Shifts are butter smooth and pedaling feels right on point. Best climbing bike I've had and is definitely capable of handling the descents. The amount of custom suspension adjustments is nice for dialing it in. Hard to beat S WORKS R&D.
