2017 Felt AR5

Aero performance with no compromises. The Felt AR5 is an aero road race bike that follows in a long line of performance cycles so that you can ride faster and more efficiently.

Stiff and lightweight the UHC performance carbon fibre frame and full carbon monocoque fork are built using Felts InsideOut construction techniques which allows the carbon fibres to be precisely laid out for a lightweight yet supremely strong frame. The internal cable routing is suitable for both mechanical and electronic shifting.

Key to the ARs performance are the tube shapes of the frame which have been extensively tested in the wind tunnel. This reduces drag by up to 31% when compared to a round tubed frame. The UHC carbon seatpost combines aero shaping with Comfort Module vibration damping for a smoother ride.

The full Shimano 105 11 speed drivetrain features a sub-compact chainset so you can really put the power down. Aero wheels and finishing kit all help you to slice through the air more efficiently.

Gain speed and save energy on the Felt AR5 aero road bike.
