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.

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.

Great value on a splendid ride

An unbeatable deal on a fine bicycle. Super smooth, comfortable ride. I had my local mechanic put the bike together for my girlfriend, which was money well spent. The only hiccup? One of the shifters had dead batteries, which took a while to figure out and then some time to locate 1632 replacement batteries. I realize this is a 2023 bike. Shimano says the batteries should last 4 years. Apart from that, superb.

I would recommend this site to anyone

I came across this site while shopping for a new bike. I did not think I could afford the bicycle, the caliber of what I purchased, but this site is not too good to be true. If you were willing to do some basic mechanical assembly, you can save yourself a huge amount of money. The bicycle came packaged even better than I could have imagined. no damage in transit and I would estimate the bicycle to be about 70% complete with the rear wheel and entire drive line already installed and tuned. All I had to do was mount the front wheel, the handlebars, and install the battery for the DI2 in the seat post. Required no more than basic handtools, and about the same level of mechanical aptitude to assemble the bike.

I could not be more pleased with wheel and sprocket, and will most likely be replacing my wife’s bicycle with a new one from this site shortly.
Their turnaround time was also excellent, I received my bike within four business days from the time it was ordered using their free shipping

Top notch outfit and don’t hesitate to purchase if you see what you like here

Felt VR Advanced 105

The bike shipped quickly and arrived earlier than expected. I was told assembly would not be much of an issue. I think of myself as very mechanically inclined and figured I could do the job myself. After opening the box and seeing cables and things that I didn't immediately recognize or could place their purpose, I decided to take the bike to a local bike shop and pay them to do the assembly.
