2017 Felt VR2

Expand your limitations. The Felt VR2 is an endurance road bike that offers the very best in carbon fibre and electronic shifting technology so that you can ride further and faster.

The lightweight UHC Advanced carbon fibre frame is built using Felts MMC and InsideOut construction techniques for a superior ride quality. TeXtreme carbon fibre is built into the frame and allows the Felt engineers to use more carbon and less resin for a lightweight and finely tuned chassis. The endurance-oriented geometry offers a comfortable and efficient riding position for long days in the saddle.

The VR offers a smooth ride, even over rough road surfaces, thanks to the endurance-tuned compliance offered by the design and carbon layup. The rear triangle features bridgeless seat stays that are positioned outboard of the seatube and are tuned to ensure maximum rear wheel compliance while maintaining lateral stiffness for efficient power transfer. The carbon fork and front triangle work together to reduce rider fatigue on long rides by mitigating road vibrations.

 Ready to take on rough road adventures tyre clearance is greater than most road bikes and the VR can handle up to 30mm wide tyres. Through axles front and rear add stiffness while mudguard mounts allow you to fit extra winter protection.

The Shimano Ultegra Di2 11 speed drivetrain is combined with an FSA SL-K Modular Adventure super-compact chainset and wide range cassette so that you can take on the steepest of climbs even at the end of a long day in the saddle. Shimano BR805 hydraulic disc brakes give you confident all-weather stopping power.

The Felt VR2 strikes the ideal balance between all-day comfort and high-performance efficiency.
