Summary
The Felt Compulsion stands out as a versatile enduro bike, praised for its lightweight design, efficient pedaling, and capable suspension system. It excels in technical terrain and climbing, though some reviews note a trade-off in frame stiffness and cornering agility. The bike's Equilink suspension and slacker head angles contribute to its stable and responsive handling.
Lightweight design comparable to carbon
Efficient pedaling and excellent climbing performance
Stable and responsive handling in technical terrain
Equilink suspension system minimizes pedaling and braking interference
Improved handling with slacker head angles
Frame stiffness can be a concern in aggressive riding
Tall BB and high-riding suspension affect cornering
Some models feature less desirable component choices
The Compulsion, however, could help change that perception. When it comes to aggressive terrain, this is a very good bike.
BIKE MagazineThe Equilink setup gives tight pedalling traction for excellent climbing performance, but reacts to big, fast stuff more like a 140mm bike than a 160mm machine
BikeRadarThe Compulsion is the pinnacle of all-mountain performance.

Felt’s most capable, enjoyable descender yet, but still more climbing and XC orientated than its travel would suggest
Nov 2013
Many bikes get tossed into the ‘enduro’ or ‘all-mountain’ category because they sport six inches of travel and yet they don’t possess the slack geometry, stout frame and burly parts to really excel on prolonged technical riding. The Compulsion LT, happily, is one bike that fits the bill. The Compulsion LT is no pretender.
