FELT IA FRD Disc | Ultimate | DuraAce Di2 | Matte Carbon

Vejl. pris: 124.999 DKK

The evolution of our flagship competition-killer, the new IA Disc makes the world's winningest triathlon bike an even better performer. Built off of the famous IA FRD platform, this frame has been fully redesigned to accommodate disc wheels. Better braking performance inspires more confidence and boosts overall speed. You and your mechanic will have fewer setup and adjustment issues tied to rim brakes, and the ability to swap out wheels is enhanced because you won't have to worry about different rim widths, nor will you have to change out brake pads between alloy and carbon wheels. Debuting at the 2018 Kona Ironman World Championships, the IA FRD Disc can carry you to the top step of the podium.

Highlights:

•     Six-time consecutive World Championship winner
•     The most aerodynamic bike in Felt’s history
•     Disc brakes and wireless electronic shifting

The bikes in the IA | Advanced line are crafted from several unique types of carbon fiber. The primary material is UHC (“Ultra Hybrid Carbon”) Advanced fiber, which is high-modulus, meaning that it’s incredibly stiff to maximize pedaling efficiency and handling feedback. But it’s not quite as stiff as its more expensive sibling, UHC Ultimate (which is found on the IA FRD Disc). However, this makes the UHC Advanced a better option for most triathletes, as it helps yield a slightly more supple chassis to mitigate road feedback and suppress rider fatigue towards the end of a long race. In fact, when asked which ride quality-yielding carbon layup they prefer, we’ve found that triathletes are split on their opinions and that it all comes down to personal preference.

Two unique storage solutions provide room for all the gear you’ll need for any training ride or race: the BTSpac sits behind the seat tube and is ideal for a flat tire repair kit or other tools, while the CALpac 2.0 storage module is integrated along the top tube for quick access to nutrition products or anything else you want at your fingertips. IA models equipped with disc brakes, like the IA | Advanced model you see here, can accommodate tires up to 28mm wide (measured at the widest point, per ISO safety standards that call for 4mm of clearance on either side of the tire and the bicycle frame).

The IA is the winningest bike at triathlon’s biggest stage, with real-world, functional aerodynamic efficiency in a frame design that is easy to work on, is lightweight, and a dream to ride. With nearly endless adjustability and the highest quality materials in the world, it’s the perfect bike for every level of triathlete who demands the very best from their equipment and their performance.
