Awesome bike!

This bike is durable, light, and fast. Had it used for a few years now and have had only the most minor issues with it past having to do a brake bleed. Great bike and would highly recommend

Still hanging in there!

Its 2023 and I have put literally thousands of miles on my Carve Pro - abusive hard miles. Yes I have replaced a few things here and there but mostly, it is still original. What a great buy and still relevant to today's specs.
