I have test ridden a SL5 and put my somewhat heavy (for a cyclist) body in to some sprints, and didn't notice any flex in the IsoSpeed from my pedal strokes, even when standing and sprinting hard. But FlashBazbo has me realizing I need to ride this bike again before making a purchase. Or maybe they'll make the IsoSpeed adjustable on future Checkpoint models in 2020, er, 2021. LOL.
I purchased the SL5 last week. I am 190 lbs and did not notice any flex in the IsoSpeed.
