2017 Felt VR5

Ready for adventure. The Felt VR5 is a carbon endurance road bike that strikes the ideal balance between all-day-comfort and high-performance efficiency for long days in the saddle.

The lightweight UHC Advanced carbon fibre frame is built using Felts MMC and InsideOut construction techniques for a superior ride quality. 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 slick shifting Shimano 105 2x11 speed drivetrain features a super-compact FSA Gossamer Pro Adventure chainset and wide range cassette to give you a wide range of gears so you can take on the very steepest of climbs while still having plenty of gears for rapid riding. The Shimano hydraulic disc brakes give you confident all-weather stopping power.

Conquer any route on the Felt VR5 road bike.
