Felt Bicycles Broam 30
Details
Broam 30 is Felt's flagship of their aluminum gravel/adventure line.
The Broam 30 features a tapered and butted SuperLite aluminum frame that boasts an upright fit and stable geometry; perfect for tackling crumbly surfaces or potholed tarmac. There's room for 45mm tires, making this bike ready for dirt roads and backwoods camping. Subtle reflective frame graphics adds visibility in low-light conditions. Mounts for bottle cages, fenders and a rear rack are found throughout the frame and fork, allowing all manner of accessories for bikepacking, touring or just getting around town. A carbon fiber fork soaks up vibration found on every off-road surface. The overall fit of the Broam 30 allows a wider range of riders -and rider flexibilities- to get comfortable.
Shimano's latest gravel-ready GRX components are found throughout the drivetrain, including the derailleurs and dual control levers. The rear derailleur is equipped with a clutch that keeps the chain from flying off over truly gnarly surfaces. The 46/30T alloy crankset is paired with a Shimano 11-34T cassette, delivering a 30x34T hill-climbing gear for tackling challenging terrain. Shimano's adjustable-reach 11-speed GRX levers operate the derailleurs with minimal effort.
With a drivetrain like that, the Broam 30's wheels needed to be equally tough. Robust tubeless-ready alloy Devox wheels feature a 28-spoke build, centerlock rotor installation and 12mm thru-axles. They're tubeless-ready, allowing for a wide range of reliable and performance-oriented tire choices. Skinned with 700x40c Maxxis Refuse tires, the Broam 30 can tackle washboard tarmac, hardpan gravel and potholes galore. Shimano supplies the GRX hydraulic disc brakes, offering excellent lever feedback and stopping power. Rainy? Dusty? Dirty? Disc brakes are the solution.
Devox also supplies the alloy stem, alloy handlebar and seatpost, keeping overall weight low. A comfy Selle Royal Essenza Gel saddle finishes off this well-appointed adventure bike.
