With its 2014 MTB lineup, Felt Bicycles moves away from its 26-inch bikes in favor of 29ers. This includes a complete redesign of its trail-oriented rig, the Virtue. This week, from its headquarters in Irvine, Calif. Felt introduced the Virtue Nine series that will be available beginning in the fall (aluminum versions) and winter 2013/2014 (carbon versions).
