Yes, but I'm wondering if it's been set up to steer quicker (eg: by raising the rear), or whether "R"s are just a bit more nimble due to their lighter wheels and different suspenders.

If anything, I actually thought the front felt a bit stiff, but then again, I was riding on some exceptionally cracked and potholed roads today.
