That older s5 is meant to be a bit soft up front. So if you smash it down winding hills. It's probably not the best choice.
To be honest, not killing me when I overcook a corner on a descent is the thing I feel most in a road bike.
Flex when climbing is annoying. But half the time that's shit wheels, or a crap Qr.
The propels look the best deal.
Older S5 is supposed to ride like shit too. Fast in a straight line or a roll down test, but rubbish for everything else. Do not want.
I know one person with an s5 (it's the 2015 one and he's had it less than 6 months) and he's very ambivalent about it. Fast on the flat but hard to love – despite what he paid for it.
