The
Felt IA1 Disc is quite simply a dominating force in the triathlon world
right now. The IA series has won six consecutive Kona World
Championship and picked up multiple 70.3 World Championships. This
version of the IA gives you the brilliant aero geometry of the FRD at a
more affordable price. This fast and convenient bike is designed to
bring out the best in any triathlete. Using the Felt IA1 frame, you can
build the perfect triathlon bike to smash your best time in a triathlon
bike leg.
Speed
on the road is the top priority of the Felt IA1. It has an extremely
aerodynamic profile that cheats the wind from all angles. Computer
iterations and wind tunnel tests recreate wind patterns that you will
feel in a race. This assures that the IA keeps its wind-defying
properties in all wind rather than just straight-away aerodynamics. This
aero frame is very light and constructed with UCH Advanced + TeXtreme
carbon fiber. This lowers the price and provides top performance. Felt’s
InsideOut construction technology eliminates any excess material for
minimum weight without sacrificing the stiffness that makes the IA so
fast.
The
geometry of the Felt IA1 gives the rider the fastest and most reliable
ride possible for a long stay on the bike. It will put you in a
naturally aggressive position which encourages you to go faster while
perfect stability gives you the extra confidence to do so. All-out
efforts on the aerobars are encouraged thanks to the stable feel of the
IA. Amazing steering responsiveness will have you flying around tight
corners. Sustaining massive power input and maximum effort is what this
bike was created to do.
As
fast as the Felt IA1 is, it does not sacrifice convenience. Storage can
be found on the top tube and behind the seat tube. The CALpac 2.0 is
featured on the top tube and is integrated perfectly in a way that will
not disrupt the aerodynamic tendencies of the frame. BTSpac is located
behind the seat tube and integrated in a way that keeps the aerodynamic
nature of the frame. This is perfect to store something such as a flat
tire kit or small tool kit. Convenience is amplified by the disc brake
compatibility of the Felt IA1. A new fork was designed for this model to
adequately produce an aero home for disc brakes. You will feel
confident braking or bombing hills in any weather with reliable brakes.
Yet
another perk of the Felt IA1 is its ease of storage and ability to
travel. The disc brake version makes it easier to disassemble for
storage or for maintenance. A huge range of wheels are compatible with
this frame so you will likely to be able to use your favorite set. The
Felt IA series has been at the very top of the triathlon world for quite
some time for good reason. Now, you can get that top performance for a
lower price. This blazing fast bike is light, stable, and convenient for
the rider who is ready to crank out a long and grueling day in the
saddle in their fastest time yet.
