How does this bike performance compared to Decathlon Van Rysel?

[@iliminator1000]

Been thinking about buying a seraph pre-build road bike, what are your thoughts - are they worth it and have you had any positives/negatives?

[@WiserBiker]

Hi Mark, it’s been good for me so far👍🏼 main positives are: good compliance- sufficient stiffness but not too harsh. Great handling- the aero features does make a difference on the flat roads and it’s stable even with facing cross winds. And of coz great design and paint given the price. Have not had any negative yet, but I have yet to go for long distance ride or big serious climbs. Will do a detail review in time to come. But so far I am very happy with the frame!

Is the wheelset better than the EXAR ultra ?

[@WiserBiker]

They are both extremely light. EXAR Ultra will be the standout but not by a lot. Do note EXAR Ultra cost more but you are definitely paying for the differences of the wheels (carbon spokes, wider internal rim width, etc)

i bought the same wheels, average speed for whole ride increased 1.5-2kmh from stock

[@WiserBiker]

The wheels are impressive as heck! Glad you purchased them! 🔥

[@geeeforce]

Where are you filming? North Korea?. There’s hardly any traffic on the road. 😂

[@WiserBiker]

It's all about choosing the right time 😂 It was a Tuesday non peak morning hence you can't see much traffic

[@redsharkruena5441]

imo all roadbikes feel stiff n responsive in the first 2hrs of riding once it gets to 4hrs of riding everythings tends to feel flexy n jelly lor😂 now is 2023 almost everthing is made in China we shud all stop degrading them.

[@WiserBiker]

We would say most road bikes have some character of their own. Some felt super stiff and can be harsh to ride. Some well known brand is known to be flexy which is obvious when you tried to sprint. Yeah but there's always some black sheep in the market that made us wonder why are they even selling when QC is not consistent 😅
