Summary

The Felt Edict is a cross-country bike that excels in racing scenarios, offering a blend of efficiency, lightweight design, and innovative suspension. It's praised for its fast and nimble handling, making it ideal for aggressive XC racers, though some note its limitations on rougher trails. The bike's suspension performance is highlighted as progressive and efficient, though opinions vary on its comfort and suitability for non-racing conditions.

Pros
  • Excellent performance at a reasonable price

  • Good geometry, fast and nimble without being overly twitchy

  • Progressive rear suspension

  • Lightweight and simple suspension design

  • Effective XC racing machine

Cons
  • More suited to riders looking for a strict, bare-bones racing package

  • Loose rear suspension pivot points

  • Un-supportive front suspension

  • Only 100mm of suspension, making the ride harsher on longer or rough trails
