"I am a huge and unapologetic Felt fan. That being said, I love this bike! While researching Tri bikes, I almost switched to the Guru, but when I compared the bikes side by side I just couldn't justify the extra cost. In the end, I'm so glad I stuck with my original feeling and went Felt. There really is no comparison of the value you get for the cost.

Felt makes a great bike that handles smoothly, is very comfortable and easy to adjust to get a great fit!"atuhro

(5)

Ease of use

It's a jump on and ride kind of bike. Everything functions smoothly and doesn't require any special attention or understanding before riding

(5)

Quality of Construction

My experience with my first bike and this one so far is that the frame is excellent quality. It's amazing how Felt is able to add the higher caliber components for less than other bike manufacturers.

(5)

Fit

I had a professional fit, but according to my friends at the bike shop, they said Felts are very easy to adjust and set up to your needs.

(5)

Comfort

Obviously you need to upgrade the stock saddle and get a proper fit, but once you do that, it's very comfortable out on the road.

(4)

Adjustability

I had a professional fit, but according to my friends at the bike shop, they said Felts are very easy to adjust and set up to your needs.

(0)

Durability

Although I can't rate this yet, my previous bike was a Felt Z5 and it has held up remarkably well over the 3 1/2 years that I've owned it.

(5)

Value

I honestly don't know how Felt is able to put the higher components onto their bikes for the price point.

(5)

Appearance

Mine is black with red and white accents. It's a slick bike!

(5)

Performance

Although it's not a fair comparison, switching from my Z5 to this did give me some "free" speed. The bike shifts smooothly and brakes well.

Strengths

High value for the money. Comfortable shifting

Weakness

the saddle is cheap and needs to be replaced before any serious riding.
