I purchased this model as my entry to electronic shifters, and I was not disappointed. I swapped tires to the Trigger Pro 2Bliss Ready. Rides even better. The saddle... wow, just outrageously bad. They can have this one back for free. Send me any other option. It made me forget I had been riding bikes for the last 30+ years. Like I've never conditioned my azz before from hours of riding. Specialized should never put this saddle on another bike, EVER. My rear was in pain, but I thought it just needs to break in. I wear high end padded tights. Months later, today, I swapped the saddle off my Trek Superfly and what a difference. I could also say the same for the Future Stem length, but maybe some people have a long reach. Because remember, the seat post bends back an inch or two. Both combined make for a long reach. Shorter stem swap out will be next. For these two reasons I give the 4 stars. As far as the ride quality, I like it a lot. I feel some bumps, but no vibration.

At least it is in my case were my average jumped by 1.5 mph on 20 mile rides. This bike is just amazing. Light, smooth comfortable and the price is relatively inexpensive. Uphill gravel track I used to walk with my previous road bike I was able to take on and get up to top without slippage and not much sweat thanks to generous gearing. One con is, the cassette looks cheap as the big gears appear covered in chrome and it's clicking on one cog despite the shop spending half an hour on it. I will definitely be looking to upgrade it in the future. Other than that, this bike is exactly what I wanted.
