| Features | Equilink
Equilink is Felt’s patented award-winning suspension design
that completely isolates active working suspension form drive train or braking
influence. The result is ride efficiency
like no other suspension platform whether on a 24-hour epic, high-speed
short-track loop or aggressive all-mountain terrain. Aluminum This product uses only the highest quality aluminum tubing available, giving our products the optimal blend of strength, weight, performance and value. We form, taper and shape each tube for its particular placement and end-use. These steps result in a lightweight responsive frame that minimizes rider fatigue and maintains quality Inside Out InsideOut is a revolutionary internally optimized molding process that completely eliminates excess material, and therefore weight, inside the frame tubes and junctions. Placing polyurethane inserts inside the frame during the molding process—especially at the bottom bracket and head tube area—and then applying a precise amount of pressure and heat results in perfectly formed tubes, inside and out. Hydroform The Hydroform manufacturing process is used to create lightweight, stiff and strong aluminum frames. With hydroforming – an internal hydraulic forming process – Felt is able to eliminate the need for gussets and can use radically shaped tubes to optimize the bike’s ride quality. Control Taper By using a Control Taper head tube with 1-1/8” upper bearings and 1-1/2” lower bearings, Felt is able to significantly improve front-end stiffness and steering precision without adding weight to the frameset. UHC Performance UHC Performance is a T700- based blend of raw carbon fiber, which has a tensile strength that’s 7.9 times greater than 3/2/5 titanium and a stiffness rating that’s 3.34 times greater than 6061 aluminum. UHC performance brings the unmatched performance of a Felt carbon fiber bike to more affordable pricing levels than ever before. |
