MODEL YEAR 2023
HIGH-PERFORMANCE VERSATILITY
The ULTRA-CAPABLE VR platform is built to tackle challenging group rides, diverse terrains, and extended adventures. Its exceptional performance is a result of our extensive experience in pushing the boundaries of carbon fiber construction and design over decades. The VR's design philosophy follows a "form follows function" approach, meticulously configuring each frame element to deliver an unparalleled riding experience.
ADVANCED BRAKING AND STABILITY
Equipped with disc brakes and thru-axles, the VR sets a new standard in road bike technology. Disc brakes offer superior stopping power, enhanced modulation, and consistent performance in all weather conditions, outperforming traditional rim brakes. For racers and enthusiasts focused on performance, disc brakes contribute to improved handling and overall control, while also accommodating larger tires for enhanced comfort and ride dynamics.
SEAMLESS EQUIPMENT INTEGRATION
To boost the VR's adaptability, the frame features concealed rack mounts and the option for a proprietary fender kit that seamlessly integrates with the overall design. Additionally, top tube mounts are available for attaching a "bento box" style storage bag. The two-bolt setup, with standard water bottle cage spacing, provides riders with the flexibility to use a variety of aftermarket storage solutions.
OPTIMIZED FOR ENDURANCE
With modern geometry and a robust bottom bracket, the VR excels in both high-performance scenarios and extended rides across diverse surfaces. The disc-only frame design eliminates the need for a rim caliper mount, allowing for slender seat stays that enhance comfort. Positioned outboard of the seat tube, these seat stays also contribute to lateral stiffness. The VR is meticulously crafted to deliver an optimized, all-day riding experience.

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 required 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.
