Elevate your cycling experience and conquer the open road with the Felt VR Advance  Carbon Road Bike—where innovation meets adventure.

VR series. Officially, to pass ISO with a 42 clearance circle, we can only recommend a 30mm tire. However, depending on tire and rim combinations, in some cases 32-34 labeled tire may fit.

This bike comes partially assembled, about 80%, with a difficulty level of 5/10. Some of the tasks required include connecting and installing the Di2 battery, making brake and shift adjustments, installing the front wheel and rotor, and assembling the handlebar with bar tape wrapping. To retain the full warranty from Felt, it is recommended that the bike be assembled by a reputable bike shop. It doesn’t need to be a Felt dealer, just a brick-and-mortar store with experience. Please retain both the build invoice and your proof of purchase from us, as they may be needed if you need to file a warranty claim in the future.

Splendid road bike

The 2023 VR Advanced bike is a wonderful machine. Soaks up rough pavement and still delivers stiffness where it counts. Wheels are very nice. The stock tires are good enough for long rides without too much worry of punctures. I will ride them through the fall/winter and then look at something a little more supple in the spring. Ultegra di2 is flawless.

I'm just an old retired dude, and this bike is perfect for my needs.

Fantastic bike, amazing deal!

Everything about this bike deal has been great! This Endurance VR bike is by far the best deal for comparable components. W&S shipped it fast and it arrived without issue. I do wish I could have upgraded to the 42 carbon wheels and a carbon handlebar, but these 29 wheels are fine and I can upgrade the handlebar on my own. Still a great deal!

I ordered a Felt that was actually too small and they returned it and sent the right size immediately. Excellent customer service and response!! I would absolutely recommend them to others!!

Really fun- excited for the adventures ahead

It came within 10 business days, everything packed nicely. I spent 4 weekday evening building it, but only because I had to get some new tools which took time to deliver from Amazon (namely a torque wrench, cassette lockring, and carbon paste). Overall it was definitely doable to build- just look on YouTube for instructional videos. Took it for it's first ride yesterday and wow. Such an upgrade from my carbon fork hybrid bike. Very smooth ride, feels like a solid bike. So light and you can feel the difference with full carbon. The electric shifting is quite nice too. This is a great deal!

A sweet deal on a great ride

I'd read several positive reviews for this bike. I couldn't beat the W&S price. Timely shipment.

I toyed with the idea of assembling the bike myself. I have never, however, dealt with disc brakes. I elected to have a bike mechanic assemble it for me. Took him about 1.5 hours and cost me $170. Worth every penny.

I've ridden about 50 miles. I love the plush ride of the 30mm tires on Reynolds carbon hoops. This is my first experience with Felt and its Devox house brand components. Quality seems first rate. I have another bike with Di2, about 10 years old. Terrific improvements in the system - wireless shifters and Bluetooth connectivity to my bike computers, to name two.

Hard to pass up this deal. I couldn't resist.
