People say it is rideable but something special:

One owner of the road-version (same angles) writes:
"the bike rides like a sprung rocket. Hitting a road bump at high speeds is enough to start you praying for all of your past sins; so you hold the handlebars in a vise-like grip and let the bike have its way with you for that moment. It's stiff everywhere, except that the BB moves if (vertically stiff, laterally compliant?) and the fork is like a stiffened rocket pogo. It's great in most riding situations but once you hit its flex point, it tries to buck you off!
Never ridden a bike that was more fun and you'll remember every ride."
