The open chain stay is an accident waiting to happen, the bend is a stress concentrator. Carbon hates harsh angles.

I'm curious to see if other companies start having problems here too. Open was the first, but almost everyone is copying their dropped chainstay design now. Maybe the UP just needs more material there?

I did the 5! Going to immediately throw on some 35c tires and hopefully float down the road. We'll see.

Regardless, I think they look like great bikes. The geo looks like it is about a cm shorter reach than their typical road models, but similar height. I think it will ride very nice.
