The Felt Edict Nine LTD pedals well, comes with an impressive build kit, and is admirably lightweight. But the combination of awkward front-end geometry and a flexy front triangle hamper its capabilities on the trail
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
The price isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you don’t have $10k laying around, the Edict 9 is available in 5 models.
MTBR logoMTBR
$5,500 is a great value for a carbon mountain bike with full Shimano XT components.

Oct 2010 · Tyler Benedict
