There's a trend in road bikes toward larger/wider tires, because you can run them at lower pressures and get similar rolling resistance to smaller/skinnier tires at higher pressures. The lower pressure is desirable to minimize the impact of bumpy or rough surfaces on your body, which can noticeably reduce fatigue and improve endurance. Ultimately a larger/wider tire can smooth out the ride and make you comfortable riding for longer distances. As a note, there are practical limits to the benefits, however, as you also have to consider additional weight and aero resistance as you go larger.

The biggest tire you can put on this bike is 28mm wide. That's not terrible by any means, but closer to what you'd find on most road bikes 5+ years ago. Based on competitor offerings lately, I'd expect at least up to 32mm support.

I do some light gravel riding on my road bike from time to time, and the roads get rough in certain areas too. I currently like 28mm in the front and 30mm in the back but also want more freedom to explore in the future. Old timers might remind me: this is a race bike, not an endurance or all-road bike. But even a Tarmac SL8 has 32mm tire clearance these days

2017 sale was to the Rossignol ski company. 2021 was to the conglomerate behind KTM motorcycles. They were sold again less than a year ago and are now independent. We'll see what the future holds.

Quote from LovelySink6994 :
The F5 is a downgrade in basically every way except looks (edit: I guess it can clear slightly larger 30mm tires) - so it depends on what's important to you and if you plan to upgrade components. I was looking at the same comparison and just couldn't justify paying for the same for a heavier and lower-spec'd bike.
The looks / brand name difference is huge though.

Usually I'd go for the lighter / better spec bike but the difference between 105 and Ultegra is mostly weight and the Felt looks really bad while Dogma is one of the most iconic bikes around.

Since most probably want to switch wheels on the Pinarello the deciding factor for me would be if I already had carbon wheels or not.

The F5 ain't a Dogma though, that's like buying a Boxster because 911s are legendary lol. Whatever makes you happy and fits your budget though, just add $800-1200 for a carbon wheelset to the F5 cost, if that's something you want. Cheers

Where on earth do you live that this is the first thought that comes to mind when looking at a bike deal on this site?
Every place I've ever lived, bike theft has been a crime of opportunity almost every single time. Don't leave it unlocked in public and the odds of it being stolen are very very low. I've never heard of a bike theft happening from someone riding their bike because they were on a nice bike, usually thieves are going to an easy target.

Are these still decent? The company was sold in 2016 and again in 2021 to a rando company.

I own a truck, car, and SUV, and they didn't cost this much combined. 3200 for a bicycle is insane.

I'm getting the felt Vr instead. More comfortable geometry, better paint job, and same group set. Looks like I'll get alloy handlebars and seatpost and shallower wheel set but otherwise similar deal. Also geared more for climbing 11-34 cassette and crank 50/34. VR is $300 cheaper too.

I am beginner, just for clarification.
I heard that Performance bikes come with smaller tire width, Endurance bikes with wider. This AR serries is performance, VR series is Endurance. The other VR bikes which were on sale too coming with Wider Tires.

and where can I find, maximum allowed with?
