It looks amazing, personally i am a big fan of Felt bikes anyway having owned one for years, i guess i'll have to wait for my boat to come in for that one though.
Savage looking bike in more ways than one! Great weight really for its heavy looking design!! But all credit has to go to Mark for a great bike review….. GCN Tech has trained you well 🤔😂
Proud owner since 2018 of the IA before this one and after Daniela and Braden Curries performances at the World Champs in St George May 7 I know what my next model will be. 🥰
Really odd bike... Firstly the disc wheel is a Roval 321... Dt Swiss latest resource for disc wheels with stickers on. Also, the basebar/extensions solution seems quite a mess... considering what Cervelo's P5 or Canyon's Speedmax had come up with... Weird how the saddle post is just taken from the old model. And can't imagine two standard bottles in the seat/downtube mounts together with such space... Just my opinion though
Seems to me that what messes it up is that Ryf seems to be sponsored by Xlab and they jammed that bottle into the cockpit. Also I don’t like that the Di2 cables are exposed.
Base bar brake level DI2 shifters are perfect for climbing, when you are out of aero and on the ‘hoods’. Ideal setup for North America courses like Oceanside, Lake Placid & Mt. Tremblant.
I dont want to hate on the thing unnecessarily, but i just cant understand the thought process behind the design of this bike and why you would buy this over something else on the market or even the older felt model. It has awful looking geometry, the front end looks cheap and hard to adjust plus heavy, not aero and expensive to change. there is no rear hydration system, the bottle cage mounts dont looks spaced enough due to lack of room in the centre triangle so i assume 1 bottle only. the "integrated frame bottle" doesnt look useable in the slightest, hence Ryf has taped over it and stuck on an xlab bottle from 2005. I just cant understand anything about this bike. I imagine it will be priced at over $10,000. If i ever see someone with one in transition I will have to ask them what on earth they were thinking buying it.
Ive been riding Felts for 20 years and I loved the DA when it came out, lusted after the IA when it first came out, this one? Not so sure. Im sure there is a method to their madness but its lets say... interesting....
@@CalebChapman12 yeah thought the same. But I can only assume it’s a „never change a running system“ attitude here. She is used to the feeling of the higher weight on the front of the bike and feels comfortable with it. But still, I do also think it is super odd.
@@richardgibbs4677 think he meant there wasnt a computer, which may have been removed at the time of the shoot, but definitely no power meter even installed
Sometimes athletes may ride with a power meter to record data for post race analysis even if they don't set up a bike computer on their bars to watch the numbers as they ride
i thing that really infuriates me abt these videos, DON'T simply tell us abt the adjustability of the bike & components, ACTUALLY show / demonstrate to us how its done. Else watt u say is just a lot of hot air!
that thing is fugly! most of these bikes look like F1 cars, but that thing looks so weird. cool integration i guess but not something id ever want to own
What do you think of the new Felt IA?
how did it do in the wind tunnel?
Can I go grocery shopping on it
Beautiful setup.
kaka
One of the ugliest bikes in the world.
Where is exhaust pipe? 😂
Riders bum
U beat me to I’ll add that it’s invisible like the engine
Hahaha

Honestly the felt IA1s still look the best

A lot of people run the 321 badged like a dt Swiss like Lucy Charles but this one in the vid is a dt Swiss own. Released a few months ago
Fair enough
My thoughts of the bike can be summed up by a line from my favorite movie, “Dumb and Dumber (1995)”. The bike, “…gives me that special feeling…” 😍😂
That is just stunning, first I've seen that doesn't look like the storage is an afterthought. Lovely 😁
How could FELT go from one of the best looking tri bikes with the IA to Quazimido 1.0 with this 🥲
Agreed... This could be the ugliest top bike out there.
No way many people spend 10k on that thing.
You have no idea what you’re saying
Base bar brake level DI2 shifters are perfect for climbing, when you are out of aero and on the ‘hoods’. Ideal setup for North America courses like Oceanside, Lake Placid & Mt. Tremblant.
Also good for the 7300 ft of elevation at St George.
The future is now! Sure to split opinion, like Bangle bimmers. Reminds me of the Ibis Mojo, which I've also always adored.

Agreed, last version looked a lot better
I’ve heard the same about felts in particular not being particularly adjustable or easy to travel with. Curious if others have heard the same.
cool bike :). the ability to angle is very cool .... love it
Wish I could afford this one. Beautiful bike. Love how they've changed the design
Hope you get your hands on whatever Giant/Cadex have planned with Kristian Blummenfelt’s St George bike timely!!
We'll see what we can do 🤞
The bike would be really scary with the crosswinds in Kona even without the disk.
this is the diamondback triathlon bike's cousin lolol
That’s what it reminded me of too. The one that was a lie of claims and they stopped selling haha.
looks great! I hope the new seat post camp is compatible with the old seatpost, I have to replace the 3T difflock system because the thread stripped.
Las aerobarras que medida traen. O que medida tiene del eje trasero hasta donde finalizan las aerobarras?
Gracias
just curious about wind tunnel, and stability at speed. Would have to be fantastic to beat the old IA or the new Plasma 6.
Took me a bit to realise the white bit in the top bar wasn't a gap in the frame
Ive been riding Felts for 20 years and I loved the DA when it came out, lusted after the IA when it first came out, this one? Not so sure. Im sure there is a method to their madness but its lets say... interesting....
I like the frame design.
Saddle? What size and model?
Whoa 🤯
It's a very striking bike, isn't it!
Should’ve done something about the di2 cables in the cockpit.
Does this have any wind tunnel wattage specs? 40-45kmph?
The top tube Bento Box, proprietary designing that will hamper
replacement in the future. Only 3D Printing can future-proof that!
Looks like the bull of Lamborghini.. Superb shape..
Any new bike without internal hydration is a pass for me, especially with that kind of internal volume
Isn’t that removable bento box also a hydration tank? If it is, than you can also take it off super easy for cleaning.
I mean Mark says at 6:50 that it has internal hydration. Seems like only Daniela Ryf ist just riding with the bottle inbetween her arms 🤷🏼♂️
@@tecmalo6857 yeah I found that odd he said it has it but she isn’t using it
@@CalebChapman12 yeah thought the same. But I can only assume it’s a „never change a running system“ attitude here. She is used to the feeling of the higher weight on the front of the bike and feels comfortable with it.
But still, I do also think it is super odd.
@@tecmalo6857 probably paid sponsorship, or tested faster in tunnel
Looks like a Revamped Ventum
10.84kg with the spares... OMG!!!
No videos about TriRig, Dimond, and other similar NDD designs?
10.84 kg - pretty good.
WTF
Frankenstein bike
Freehub noise is just wasted watts during free wheeling (albeit minimal on a time trial bike)
Can u use that kind of bike in cities?
I really like it, surprisingly, no OSPW.
the storage reminds me of an motorcycle fuel tank lol
Is it a mountain bike?
Braden Currie’s felt has a much better paint scheme. It was at the Collins cup at the same time.
is this fair, is it not mechanical doping?
For the GCN crew, Si vs how many? before being beaten on one of these things....
Haha, it might buy him a little bit more time
That water system looks like a Harley Davidson gas tank
Fast. Felt. Ryf !
First gen IA still looks better
FINALLY, Felt fixes the biggest cockpit issue- the angling of the aero bars. But man is front end of this big fugly
❤❤❤❤
Damn, that's ugly. So happy that Canyon and Trek and and Scott and a few others still make bicycle looking cool bikes
The bike is designed for speed. Not looks.
@@virtualZ161 It may be fast but it is definitely ugly
👍
Truly one of the ugliest bikes ive ever seen.
Hunchback of Ironman
wheel sounds like some epic Farts
Just looks too odd, somehow I don't think they'll shift many of those, I wonder how long till the next version comes out
I'd sell it and buy Lionels green machine bike
These things aren’t built to be beautiful, but it must be said, this is hideous.
Why the hump? It looks stupid
What's the point in having a power meter if you don't ride with a bike computer?
uhhh i think the video said, "and im not sure i see a power meter either" 4:11
@@phootoz that’s what I mean, why would there be if she doesn’t use a computer…
@@richardgibbs4677 think he meant there wasnt a computer, which may have been removed at the time of the shoot, but definitely no power meter even installed
Pm could connect with a watch

no place for uci , good job
One of the ugliest bikes on earth
..und dann ein 10 Jahre altes Trinksysthem😂
Truly disgusting
10.84kg is really heavy. I'd imagine you wouldn't want to use it on any course other than a dead flat one.
Bringing ‘Ugly’ to a whole new level.
Awful looking design 🤢🤮

Eye sore
I saw too
Great bike until they strapped disc brakes on it . wtf, come on.
the fact that is has disc brakes is laughable
Not a Fan. But im sure its fast!
I thought high end road bicycle were outrageous. But without the UCI to keeps things "reasonable." Things become preposterous with TT bikes...
...from a logical point of view, ride a bike uglier than you...🎶 😅
Thumbs up for the bike review. Thumbs down for the bike!
As always, will be at a ridiculous $$$$$$$$$……..
Ugly but I’d take one off of Felt’s hands for free. 😂
i thing that really infuriates me abt these videos, DON'T simply tell us abt the adjustability of the bike & components, ACTUALLY show / demonstrate to us how its done. Else watt u say is just a lot of hot air!
Their top athlete Daniela Ryf didn't even post a thing on socials about the new bike. Probably worst bike launch ever
that thing is fugly! most of these bikes look like F1 cars, but that thing looks so weird. cool integration i guess but not something id ever want to own
That thing is almost 24 pounds!!!! No thanks
I have an opinion on the design and style of this new frame. But, this is the internet and no one cares about my opinion.
We care about your opinion!
It’s ugly
Tf is that? 😂
They deserve the award for the most ugly bike of the decade
Absolutely disgusting. Back to the drawing board
Ugh this is ugly. And why no internal hydration system?
Quite some ugly looking bike we've got here. Let's hope it's at least fast.
A for adjustability, f for looks. It’s venge vias ugly.
Venge vias looks great though?
@@robbo3132 it’s the one with the bulbous stem and riser bars, the one before it had disc brakes. I though it was the ugliest road bike.
Even if it proves to be fast it still looks like crap. 🙄
This bike looks horrible, apologies.
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Damn that’s an Ugly Bike! 🫣
It’s certainly a different looking bike!
looks hideous
