Excellent stiffness from the BB90 bottom bracket and solid front end, ensuring a lively ride that encourages you to push harder everywhere, but pays you back with reduced fatigue from constant vibrations.
The 105 compact gearing is ideal, and as a package, the SL5 is superb value for so much tech. The wheels are the most obvious future upgrade, but they’re not hard to live with really when the riding experience is this good.
