looks kinda funny with that seat height, but that's probably what it'll look like for most people buying this bike and actually riding it

Please tell me the saddle height at the time of shooting.

7:27 "I would go with Red AXS" says the guy working at Competitive that can buy anything at cost.

I’m super curious and would love a chance to ride the S5 for a couple hundred miles. My gut says the bike would work very well for my riding preferences.

A couple folks seem to rag on the seat height versus bar height (on the pictured bike). If that configuration works for someone… totally cool. Why rag on someone because of their riding preference? Not cool

What size would you prefer for 164 cm?

[oquendojo]

is fast? yea, is stiff? yea, is aero? yea. yea.yea.yea.

[jesuscruz]

It looks like they squeezed a frame in between two wheels

[rp]

Saddle and handle bar are the same height?🤣😂

Please bring the bike in the front not the two guys with basecaps.

My 2019 Disc 51cm is mechanical compatible and weights just 7, 30kg with bottle/cage and pedals included . It's lighter than this and it's also using disc brakes what a joke. Guess you guys got the consumer model with low modulus fibers.
