Personally, I love it. I've been riding it for almost 2 years - I got mine as part of a tester group in 2020 shortly after they launched, to provide them with feedback on their first model run. They've already made some updates on their newer models, like a 2x drivetrain, etc (though 1x is still available).
It's light and nimble, and rides great. Carbon fork & seatpost with the supermag frame = pretty nice ride quality. My tires are also 38, but I'm contemplating jumping to 40/42 when these wear out. I swapped the stock bars and stem for something that fit me better, but the rest is as it came.
Do recommend!
