An American bike brand we have
been selling now for 2 years and have been very impressed with the quality
of the build and the ride.
New for 2008 is their
Z-Series, which reflects Felt’s recognition of the need for alternative geometry
and body positioning.
With the number of road riders growing
steadily each year, with it comes multiple riding styles, body types, abilities,
and comfort zones. While some riders may choose the longer, stretched-out feel
and steep, aggressive geometry of traditional racing frames, others may
prefer a geometry that is compact, slightly more relaxed, and a body position
rotated a bit more upright, as found on Felt's Z series
frames.
There is no mistaking its race-worthy intentions though.
Combining massive oversized tubing for unprecedented stiffness with aggressive,
sculpted tubing shapes, the Z possesses a demeanor that’s unmistakably its
own. Used by roughly half of the riders on the USA Pro Continental Team
Slipstream-Chipotle, this frame is ideal for classic stage races and weekend
club rides alike.
Outfitted with amenities such as adjustable stems, comfort enhanced
saddles, gel-infused handlebar tape, and ergonomic handlebars, you could say the
Z-series exemplifies the quest for all-day-long cuttingedge performance.

Also new for this year
is Felts Ladies range.
When Felt set out to develop our all-new Fit Woman (FW) line of women’s bikes,
they designed from the ground up with a blank sheet, not just a case of a few
women specific components thrown onto a men’s frame and splashed with an alternative paint job.
The engineering team began by consulting with several of our top women athletes, and then by studying human body
measurements, ( women are not proportionally smaller than men). To achieve the perfect body position
many different characteristics of a woman’s body had to be taken into
account. Once calculated the engineering team was able to work backwards, maintaining that ideal body position while adjusting the frame geometry to properly fit a woman. Beyond the geometry,
the frame was also tailored, each individual tube’s wall thickness to maintain the lively, reactive, comfortable “Felt feel” regardless of differences in body weight and power.
For 2008 the FW line rises to a new level of performance. From the stem length to the saddle shape, from the crank length to the Q factor, every single specification has been carefully selected to ideally accommodate a woman’s physique. In short,the FW line
reflects women’s unique requirements and high standards for quality and excellence. And most importantly, to give you a bicycle that loves you as much as you love to ride.
The new FW series from Felt Bicycles. Be you. Be a Fit Woman™.
