So to me, I think it's the ultimate road bike, for me.
Interesting. Just sold my road bike (Canyon Endurace carbon) and have been looking at the FX sport 5 and the 6. I think the 5 is about 2 lb. heavier, so not sure it would make a good road bike substitute. But it's full carbon so it's not a clunker. Though the 6 has the advantage of the carbon wheels...
