Felt IA 2.0 Force AXS Ultimate Large 56cm

This bike is in stock, in our shop - only one of a very limited supply. Be quick if you want it, we wont be getting any more for until next year 

 

The new IA 2 is the latest FRD (Felt Racing Development) top-tier carbon bike made with Swedish hi-mod TeXtreme spread tow fiber, unique to Felt bike frames. They haven’t shared weight claims for the new IA2 (as the production bikes are not quite ready yet), but Felt says that TeXtreme allows them to significantly reduce weight and increase stiffness relative to conventional hi-mod carbon fibers.

A big part of the Aero Integration that gives the IA 2.o its name is the built-in storage. Up front that’s the nested 0.9L ThirstPac removable hydration reservoir inside the toptube with a drink tube that attaches to your aero extensions, and then the 0.2L CalPac nutrition storage on top of it, accessed through slits in the pliable rubber cover.

The bike also includes two regular water bottle cage mounts, to.

The even bigger front-end upgrade is the all-new Dagger Direct integrated cockpit. Felt’s highly-adjustable new modular cockpit now adds adjustable grip tiers on the basebar, and newly independent riser stacks to better dial in bar height. The stock aero extensions also now allow for angle adjustment in addition to height, width & reach adjustability. Or easy modular compatibility with most alternative & custom extensions on the market.

There’s even a small upgrade to the bolt-on aero nose cone, with a new upper rubber seal for smoother (and quieter) aero finish to the underside of the basebar.

And even how smooth it looks once installed, the new setup with fully hidden cables still uses a conventional round tapered steerer, 2-bolt stem & regular top cap, so that it’s easy enough to disconnect the bars and hang them next to the fork to fit in your bike bag for air travel to the races.

Based off the same concept as their aero road AR and now the Breed Carbon, Felt’s new IA 2.o tri bike uses a vibration-damping seatpost clamp insert & cover for improved rider comfort. Felt says the patented InternaLoc 2.0 clamp system delivers unrivaled security, adjustability, and rider comfort – a rare mix in an ultra-deep section proprietary seatpost.

Also, for a closer look at that ThirstPac, the same reservoir fits in all size bikes, and can be refilled while riding by squirting a water bottle directly into the reservoir’s front opening.

Out back in the tail fin, the (In The Seatpost) ITSpac internal storage provides space for a race repair kit – mini-tool, spare tube, levers, CO2 cartridge, etc. – all packed into the included Silca zippered neoprene pack to keep it all together, protected, and rattle-free.

Both of these storage spots are accessible with quick-to-use 1/4-turn locking cams, so you can get in & out quickly in a race situation.

The new tri bike also increases comfort and control thanks to wider-volume modern road tires. With clearance for “28+mm” tires front & rear, triathletes can run lower pressure for improved grip AND lower rolling resistance on modern wide rims. Plus, the bike’s 4% decrease in overall aero drag compared to its predecessor also includes this move to wider 28mm tires vs. the 23-25mm tires on the IA 1.

Add all of those special details to standard flat mount disc brakes, 12mm thru-axles, regular tapered 1.5″ headset, a removable front derailleur mount, and fully-internal cable routing for electronic 1x or 2x drivetrains.
