I have an SL3 and an evo. The SL3 "feels" more solid at the rear, so more of a natural sprinter BUT i don't think the flex in the rear of the evo hurts sprinter, it may actually help by aiding traction. The evo is a a better frame IMO.

Thanks nifty. That sounds great actually. At times I have been able to make the SL3 peel out sprinting, accelerating over bumps, sand, etc.

interesting read. looking at the tcr "pedalling stiffness" tests done by giant.
the new defy SL is stiffer than both the TCR adv (non SL) and the works tarmac
& the works roubaix is stiffer than the works venge.
