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.
Phenomenally well-pedaling suspension design
Quick handling and cornering ability
Light yet stiff frame
Effective XC racing machine
Innovative rear suspension design
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
It’s perfect for an aspiring XC or marathoner, or anyone who just loves smashing pedals.

Excellent choice for marathon racing
Efficient pedaller
Brilliant climber
