Felt claims the AR FRD as the best performing aerodynamic road bike in the world. The AR FRD has been ridden to countless professional victories on the road. With a lightweight carbon build and aero profile, this bike can be used in a stage race or time trial to conquer the wind or dominate the peloton. This bike is specifically designed to be lighter and more efficient than your average aero road bike.

The aerodynamic features of the Felt AR FRD were created using CFD Software and wind tunnel testing. The design starts out with CDF testing which simulates what engineers can expect in wind tunnel testing. This allowed them to come up with and test tons of frame iterations before finally settling on the perfect design of the AR FRD. The wind tunnel was then used to confirm what the CDF suggested, and the perfect aero frame was born. A frame like this that can cut through the wind is essentially free speed for its rider, making it 31 percent faster than a typical rounded road tube.

The Felt AR FRD keeps a low weight thanks to its UHC Ultimate + TeXtreme carbon fiber. They used Modular Monocoque Construction (MMC) to create this frame. Through this process, large sections of the frameset are molded then bonded together to reduce excess material and optimize the engineering of each section. While this is a time-consuming method, it gives you the best possible construction and the lowest weight for tough stage racing.

The aerodynamic seatpost of the AR FRD helps it cut through the wind while helping dampen vibrations from the road that would typically cause fatigue to the rider and take away from pedaling efficiency. Everything on the Felt AR FRD is engineered to help you go faster for longer. Equipped with a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and Zipp 404 NSW carbon wheels, you have a reliable setup to keep you moving quickly.

The Felt AR FRD is their fastest bike for time trials and peloton domination. You get the perfect weight to stiffness ratio to feel confident climbing hills or on a flat sprint in a time trial or breakaway. With geometry to offer you an aggressive and forward riding position, you will have everything you need to race at your absolute fastest.
