Is the bike comfortable and not too stiff? I just sold my Orbea Orca and I'm not looking to race but ride longer distance. How would it compare to say the Scott CR1 Pro or the Cervelo RS? Thx Rob

This bike is primarily designed for speed over distance. That said, if you're comfortable doing 20+ mph for 2-3 hours at a stretch, this bike handles like a dream and would make a great distance bike. Under 20 mph for 2-3 or even longer times (e.g., 4-5 hours), and there are probably better rides out there. Comfort, of course, is purely subjective; so find a dealer with the right size bike, ride it for at least one hour at various speeds, and see how you feel afterwards. If you feel fresh and relaxed, this bike's for you.
