2020 FELT DOCTRINE 1 FRAME

As modern cross-country racing evolved, Felt was sure to do the same. The Doctrine 1 is a lightweight hardtail that helps you find that balance of flat speed and balance on technical sections you need. Felt kept up with the changes in cross-country by creating a hardtail with a more stable front end, a shorter stem, a steeper seat angle, and a great weight to stiffness ratio. The Felt Doctrine 1 Frame is there to help you build the ultimate cross-country weapon that can gun for the podium.

Felt is always improving even their best bikes. This version of the Doctrine frame is 60g lighter and 12 percent stiffer than its predecessor. These improvements result in quicker acceleration and better climbing which creates faster lap times. With better balance than the vast majority of hardtail XC bikes, the Doctrine gives you the confidence to take advantage of its lightweight speed. The mind-bendingly high weight to stiffness ratio on this bike will have you crushing your fastest lap times.

As a hardtail, the Felt Doctrine 1 is very compliant. Years of carbon fiber innovation means that Felt can build a fast bike without sacrificing the comfort you need for a long race. The rear triangle of this frame mitigates the impact of small bumps while keeping the rear end down to provide the traction you need. This combines the light weight and nimble ride you expect from a hard tail with the vibration dampening ride you get from a suspension ride.

This version of the Doctrine gives riders more tire clearance, so they can prepare for those soft, muddy days. With the option for up to 2.35-inch tires, no conditions will stop you from getting on the trail. Internal cable routing options contribute further to weather management and convenience. Compatible with all contemporary drivetrains, your Doctrine can be customized anyway you’d like. All these convenient pieces further improve an already outstanding bike.

The Felt Doctrine 1 is as good as it gets for hardtail cross-country racing performance. You feel as light and agile as ever with a hint of full suspension compliance thanks to the innovative rear triangle. This bike is here to help you crush your lap times and dominate the competition. As the sport of cross-country racing evolved, Felt has too. If you want to keep up, you need to evolve with it and the Doctrine is the perfect way to do so.
