Summary
The Felt Edict is a high-performance cross-country bike known for its lightweight frame and innovative F.A.S.T. suspension design, offering an agile and efficient ride. While it excels in race-tuned suspension and component specs, some reviews note quirks in front-end geometry and handling. It's a bike that balances performance and value, with models catering to a range of budgets.
Light frame
Innovative suspension design (F.A.S.T.)
Agile feel
Race-tuned suspension
Good value for carbon models
Awkward front-end geometry
Flexy front triangle
Quirky handling
High price point for top models
It looks to be an extremely capable no-nonsense race platform for riders seeking some serious, all-out performance.
The Felt Edict Nine LTD pedals well, comes with an impressive build kit, and is admirably lightweight. But the combination of awkward front-end geometry and a flexy front triangle hamper its capabilities on the trail
The price isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you don’t have $10k laying around, the Edict 9 is available in 5 models.
$5,500 is a great value for a carbon mountain bike with full Shimano XT components.

After hearing murmurs at Sea Otter about a top secret, superlight race rocket that Felt was working on, we made sure we were at their press launch earlier this summer to see the all-new Edict XC mountain bike. At Interbike’s Dirt Demo, as fun as it sounds, there’s actually very little time for me to …
