Summary
The Felt AR is a high-performance aero road bike that excels in speed and aerodynamics, offering a responsive and exciting ride. It features contemporary design elements like thru-axles and disc brakes, and is optimized for efficiency at yaw angles less than 10 degrees. While it boasts impressive climbing ability and fantastic cruising speed, it is noted to be heavier than some competitors and may exhibit vague handling at slower speeds.

Felt unveiled two models of the AR Advanced, available in either a Shimano Ultegra or a Shimano Ultegra Di2 build. They have two color options for the build, white or blue. A frameset only option is available in a gray shade as well. The new AR will begin shipping on March 31st. We expect the higher-end Felt Racing Design models that accompany the Advanced tier frames, to be announced around the same time.

The AR has gotten a long-awaited facelift, and while aerodynamics takes center stage once again, comfort makes a surprise appearance.
