This bike is undeniably fast, but it's not without its criticisms. In this review, I break down the agile yet jittery ride feel and discuss its handling at high speeds on rolling terrain.

00:00Are the sensations going to back up what we find in the wind tunnel?
00:03Yes, this is a fast bike by the numbers.
00:05Does it feel fast?
00:06Absolutely.
00:08The rear end is plenty stiff enough.
00:10We'll get into the front end in a minute.
00:13But if you've got your nose in the wind on flat or rolling terrain, it's great.
00:18However, it is not without criticism.
00:20It is certainly more agile than the V4 RS and the V5 RS,
00:27but it doesn't have the same precision as something like the Pinarello Dogma.
00:32Neither does it have a kind of sure-footedness at really high speeds
00:36that you get with something like the Ridley Noah.
00:38A part of the slightly jittery ride feel that comes with the Y1 RS,
00:45I think comes from a bit of a disconnect between the front and the rear end.
