Quite a stunner, isn't it? But the best parts of the Felt FR5W are more than skin deep.
The FR5W was built to be a high-performance road machine. Not a gravel-ready bike. Not a commuter bike. But a bike that will take every pedal stoke and turn it into speed. Felt looked at the previous generation of road machines (namely the ultra-aggressive F-series), and decided it could make it better while still accommdating a wider range of riders and rider flexibilities. Need a small size and short standover height? The 43cm size accommodates a 26" inseam! The FR5W's frame is constructed of Felt's own UHC Advanced carbon fiber, making it incredibly strong as well as feather-light. Torsional strength ensures that pedal strokes are converted to forward motion, not flexing a rubbery bike. The FR5W's rear brake caliper sits under the chainstays, tucked out of the wind for a sleeker look. The seatstays are freed from being an anchor point for the rear brake caliper, allowing Felt's engineers to build a more comfortable road feel into the FR5W's frame. Up front, a fully-UHC Advanced carbon fiber fork is mounted in a tapered steerer tube improving handling in high-speed turns and descents. Internal cable routing makes the FR5W more aero as well.
Shimano's 11-speed 105 components are found throughout the FR5W, including the adjustable-reach dual-control levers, both derailleurs, the 50/34T compact crankset, 11-28T cassette and direct-mount brake calipers. Every Shimano 105 component was designed and built to work in concert with every other 105 component, ensuring lightning-quick operation and long service life. Tubeless-ready alloy WRSL3 wheels are shod with 700x25c Schwalbe Durano Race Guard tires for confident grip and easy acceleration. A UHC Performance carbon fiber seatpost is topped with a Prologo Nago Evo saddle, while an alloy Felt stem and short-reach alloy Felt road handlebar complete this quick and nimble machine.
