So beyond the constant complements on the paint. She's a joy to ride. I received the bike a couple weeks ago and have several hundred miles on it and am impressed by the removal of the road vibration by the wheels/frame yet the power transfer is obvious. The power from the pedal to the ground is not lost in the frame. I did add tubeless tires which would be my only question to Specialized: Why the turbos and tubes? Why not sell me a pair of stems and tubeless tires with the bike?

56 year old, former road/crit racer, 5'4"" 155lbs. and the 52 cm fit me perfectly right out of the box. We ride Utah, so lots of rollers, climbing, big descents, and windy flats...the words I think of are ""smooth"" and ""powerful"". It is responsive but not punishing on rough roads...never thought I'd ride a 700x26 at 85 psi, but the stock tires are a game changer (was on Conti GP4000 700x23 before). When I step on the gas over the rollers, not a watt of wasted energy. Also can't say enough good things about Di2...my wife convinced me to go electronic and I won't go back. Finally, disc brakes coming down the big canyon descents are amazing...I can descend faster (when I'm feeling aggressive) and have confidence that I can dial it back quickly if there is, say, a herd of deer trying to cross the road 😅
