Summary

The Felt Edict is a cross-country bike praised for its efficient pedaling, quick handling, and innovative suspension design, making it a strong contender for racing and marathon events. However, some reviews note limitations in comfort and versatility, particularly on rougher trails. The bike's performance is highly dependent on the rider's skill level and attention due to its precise handling.

Pros
  • Phenomenally well-pedaling suspension design

  • Quick handling and cornering ability

  • Light yet stiff frame

  • Effective XC racing machine

  • Innovative rear suspension design

Cons
  • RockShox Monarch RT shock’s platform makes the bike ride too harsh

  • Not incredibly light at 28.5 pounds without pedals

  • Limited mud clearance

  • Twitchy high speed handling

  • Requires rider's full attention due to its precision and head angle

Key Quotes
It’s perfect for an aspiring XC or marathoner, or anyone who just loves smashing pedals.

The Felt Edict Nine 60 isn’t your typical 100mm-travel XC bike.
