FELT - AR ADVANCED ULTEGRA - COMPLETE BIKE

The all-new AR is the bike you need if speed inspires and delights you. Whether you are in the hunt for PRs, segments, or Olympic gold, the AR is built to get you to your finish line. Not just faster but better in every way, the new AR is designed with performance in mind. We know that going fast isn't only about cheating the wind - though the AR doesn't disappoint on that front. It's also about keeping yourself fresher and more composed than the competition.

This is why we built the new AR from scratch, starting with a blank slate. We took the performance data from the existing AR, knowing just how fast it is and that it remains a reference point for racers and much of the cycling industry. But, on top of this, we elevated the importance of ride quality and handling to ensure that the total package is simply the fastest and best aero road bike we've ever designed. The AR is a whopping 9% faster than the previous AR depending on the conditions!

KEY FEATURES

• AERODYNAMICS: The aero paradigm has evolved. Gone are the elongated, deep-section, teardrop shapes and hard edges that were previously thought to be the most efficient at slicing through the wind. The latest industry research and theories have shifted aero-bike development towards truncated, squared-off profiles (sometimes referred to as "Kammtail" designs) that have been optimized for real-world riding conditions instead of the lab. As a result, properly designed bikes will perform better during the actual riding and racing conditions that cyclists encounter most often. As the performance benefits of this shift have taken hold, we've seen validation of the speed gains ourselves. Our development of the new AR followed these theoretical models and industry improvements with more deliberate, hands-on efforts to advance our own platform. Faster is better.
• DISC BRAKES & THRU-AXLES: Disc brakes are found on the entire Felt road line-up. Our all-around road bike model (FR series), our cyclocross race bike (FX series), and even our flagship triathlon model (IA series) - all of which have won World Championships in recent seasons - feature disc brakes. Through testing and experience, we know that disc brakes can win races on the biggest stage. The AR is optimized to feature disc brakes with recessed thru-axles for the most wind-cutting profile.
