CX is definitely not XC ... Only my 3rd ride but not currently liking mildly tight 180s or any corner really. I know with practice and confidence this will come, but lots of nervous giggles at present. descending is pucker factor x10 on anything I'd eat with an MTB of any type including a dj ... Skinny tires, no side knobs, fully rigid, fracking way too far forward, pretty much locked into position ... Bloody love it!
everything I want in a roadie as well ... Nice responsive braking, quick but not stellar acceleration, easy to keep a cadence ... Every effort is rewarded.
One thing I'm definitely surprised about is how fracking hard it is to dismount at a run or even in any semblance of grace ... I'm liking this shizzle
