The Felt AR5 gives you the best price you can get for a member of Felt’s high-performing AR aero road bike series. This bike takes a ton of hints from the FR ARD which Felt considers to be the fastest aero bike on the market. If you are looking for an efficient sprinting machine that is versatile enough for any road stage, the AR5 is a great choice. It will be there to help you do your very best in your first race.

Felt used CFD software to simulate how their aero bikes will perform in different wind conditions. This shows engineers what they can expect when they test the bike in the wind tunnel so they can create tons of iterations of the frame. The wind tunnel was then used to confirm what the CDF suggested and the perfect aero frame was born. This type of frame provides the rider with free speed and eliminates the need to stay in the middle of the peloton. When wind is not a factor, breaking away becomes far less risky.

The Felt AR5 utilizes UHC Performance carbon which creates a light frame at a great price. Their Modular Monocoque Construction (MMC) with InsideOut Construction was utilized 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 climbing mass start stages.

This bike comes with a similar high-performing aero seatpost to the one featured on the AR FRD made of UHC Performance carbon. The seatpost both helps the AR5 cut through the wind and dissipate vibration from the road, keeping you fresher for longer and maximizing your pedaling efficiency. This in addition to a very stiff frame gives you one of the fastest bikes on the road. The Felt AR5 is equipped with a Shimano 105 mechanical groupset for easy and reliable shifting at a low price.

The Felt AR5 is a great option for the rider who wants to get their foot in the door in road racing and make a jump in terms of speed. A light and aerodynamic frame has all your needs covered whether you are entering a time trial or a stage race. The geometry of the AR5 keeps you in an aggressive and aerodynamic riding position that keeps you over the pedals for maximum power transfer. If you are ready to start dominating the road, the Felt AR5 is a good way to get going.
