On dirt, it feels faster than my Timberjack which is expected, and on the road not quite as sprightly as my Goodship (with 45mm deep carbons, 15mm shorter wheelbase, and weighing just under 20lbs), also expected. It hits the sweet spot, I'm a happy camper
So this will come off poorly, but is really meant to be surprising. A $4000 bike has heavy basic wheels? That seems frustrating.
...or are the wheels really good, but you are going to buy some exceptional ones? 450g or more to drop off a wheelset led me to think the stock wheelset is very basic and heavy.
It is a really nice looking bike, to be clear.
