Open up is a very comfortable frame, but if lateral stiffness is of importance some of the newer frames are probably better
Remember that the frame design and layup is essentially 9 years old at this point since it originally came out in 2015. The u turn fork is very light and comfortable but has a little more lateral flex than competing models. And the chain stays are notoriously flexy.
Still a very good bike, and revolutionary at the time, but others have caught up since.

Yikes, hehe will Gerard do that?! I suppose all modern bikes are going that way and it's gets the cables out the way for bar bags.
The UP had a refresh at some point from post mount to flat and sure I've read they changed the lay up again since. (Similarly the UPPER got a refresh with the carbon)
Great frame, got mine (UPPER) as an "endurance" roadie now. Very compliant whilst giving great power transfer.
