Summary

The Felt FR is a race-oriented bike that excels in transforming power into speed, offering a solid yet comfortable ride quality. It features increased stiffness, improved handling, and decreased weight, with a design that accommodates various drivetrain types and tire sizes. While it lacks aero features and may not suit all riders with its higher stack, its performance and versatility stand out.

Pros
  • Lighter, stiffer, and smoother-riding package

  • Disc brakes available for the first time on some FR models

  • Size-specific layups and tube sizes for consistent ride quality

  • BB386 bottom bracket allows different chainstay constructions

  • Improved torsional stiffness by 30 percent

Cons
  • No aero features

  • Higher stack may not appeal to all riders

  • Disc brake versions weigh about 90 grams more than rim brake frames

Key Quotes
The FR makes it feel like every watt gets transformed into forward motion.
Bicycling
It’s one of those bikes that feels solid under hard efforts, but without having a totally brutish ride quality like some race bikes I’ve been on.
Bicycling
The FR is the result of Felt’s longstanding mission to create the best possible instrument for speed.
