"This bike is incredible for the price. I would recommend it to anyone considering this model (based on fit, of course). I could not be happier with this bike purchase."rrrunner
Quality of Construction
Fort this price point this bike is very well made
Fit
Worked with LBS to find a bike that would fit me.
Comfort
This bike is more aggressive than the Giant I rode, but I love the fit and comfort. It took a little getting used to the new position but once I did my speed increased almost instantly.
My only complaint is the gel aero bar pads. They feel slippery when I sweat so I replaced them with a Profile Design product that my LBS carries.
Adjustability
Like most tri bikes the B16 has an adjustable seat, aerobars etc.
Durability
I've only had this bike for a few months but it still looks brand new.
Value
Again, this bike is incredible for the price.
Appearance
Some women avoid pinks and purples on gear and some women enjoy them. This bike is mostly black with a prominant purple stripe. I think it's beautiful. I've even purchased some matching gear.
Customer Service
I haven't dealt with Felt directly. All of my dealings have been with my LBS.
Performance
This bike shifts smoothly, brakes amazingly and feels solid. As I mentioned above my average MPH went up by about 1 mph almost immediately when I switched to this bike.
Strengths
Great price point, nice aggressive position, cool colors
Weakness
Gel aero pads
- 132 people use

Ease of installation
LBS put on the aero pads and transferred my pedals/computer etc
