You're getting an excellent carbon race bike at a truly great price. The carbon frame with IsoSpeed decoupler provides an unmatched smooth ride, preventing you from being shaken by smaller uneven surfaces on the trail. The Straight Shot downtube increases stiffness and improves handling without adding extra weight, while the Knock Block headset protects your frame from contact with the fork crown or handlebars. The RockShox fork's Solo Air spring is lighter than a steel spring and can be easily adjusted to the rider's weight.
