It might be that it's on 38c hyper voyagers (doubtful)
Can tell you it's not them. Have them on my Orro and my Bombtrack now I like them that much.
Could be geometry? I had the same feeling from the also much vaunted CdF for some reason.
Crap wheels can make a nice bike feel rubbish IME.

I thought I'd like my arkose as a do it all commuter, rad dad taxi, winter single speed miles get out in the laner type thing.
The material doesn't bother me as I'm an avid collector of aluminium frames.
It just feels a bit "meh". That might be because of the wheels, stock. It might be that it's on 38c hyper voyagers (doubtful). It might be overgeared (likely).
It makes the noise and I'm not sure why. I can't seem to get set up right on it.
I was hoping I'd be able to chuck it around a few muddy cross races this year. But I doubt it.
