In fact 585 and 595 felt a bit similar. 695 front end is much much stiffer and Zed2 crankset is one of the lightest and stiffest what you can find on the market. It has also very low Q-factor.

djconnel wrote:dgasmd: the Zed cranks are easily the best stiffness/mass available (strongly correlated with axle diameter), so swapping those out would be the last thing on my mind. I'd be more concerned about Tumppi's comment that the ride quality was better on the 585, which was decidedly not up to the stiffness standards of most current carbon frames (unless you count the Calfee, which also gets excellent reviews for its ride quality).
I think the 695 is a very cool bike. I love seeing innovative, functionally-focused design. I'm not sure I'd want one, though, since I view frame flex as more of a low-pass filter than an energy loss mechanism.
