Summary
The Felt AR is a versatile aero road bike that excels in speed and handling, particularly in windy conditions, with a design optimized for low yaw angles. It offers a comfortable ride thanks to features like a split seatpost and adjustable saddle clamp, though it is noted for being heavier than some competitors. The bike's contemporary features, such as thru-axles and disc brakes, along with its ability to accommodate wider tires, make it a user-friendly option for riders seeking performance and comfort.

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.
