2023 Felt FR Advanced 105 Road Bike
THE FR ROAD BIKE
If you’re looking for the best-handling, fastest-climbing, smoothest-riding road racing bike in the world, you’ve found it. The FR represents one half of the ideal union between bike and rider. Free of excess, it was painstakingly and obsessively honed for the needs of the most committed road cyclists, in order to win battles of will, attrition, and tactics on any racecourse. Starting with a clean sheet of paper, our engineers designed the FR from the ground up, resulting in a pure road bike that boasts impeccable handling and a precision-tuned chassis. This ensures riders are fresh for a finish line sprint after a long day in the saddle. Lighter and stiffer than any other bike that’s emerged from our history of innovation, the FR climbs like an angel and descends like a dream. When you strip away unnecessary indulgences and gimmicks, all that is left is pure performance, embodied in a bike that is an extension of you.

PERFORMANCE HONED CHASSIS
Each and every tube shape on the FR was meticulously theorized, modeled, and tested in order to achieve both the optimal performance characteristics demanded by cycling's top athletes and the ride quality revered by riders the world over. From its asymmetrical chainstays crafted to precisely balance the rider's pedaling forces with the inherent effects of a drivetrain, to its rear triangle and fork developed to mitigate road chatter in order to reduce rider fatigue, every millimeter of the FR frameset was finely sculpted in excruciating detail. Featuring the most refined layups in our history and TeXtreme carbon fiber, the FRD, Advanced, and Performance iterations of the FR set a new standard for lightweight road bikes. The aluminum version is no slouch either, featuring a SuperLite aluminum frame paired with an Advanced-level carbon fork. More so than any other road bike in Felt's history, the FR is the embodiment of form following function.
