AERO EXCELLENCE. Our very first bike was made for one of the greatest triathletes in history‚Äö√Ñ√ÆPaula Newby-Fraser‚Äö√Ñ√Æwho rode her stealth black Felt B2 to multiple world championship victories. Since then, we‚Äö√Ñ√¥ve never stopped pursuing the ideal triathlon racing machine. The first IA revolutionized the triathlon world when it debuted. Despite advancements via our IA 2.0 platform, the standard IA remains a reference point for speed and performance. The IA remains one of the most aerodynamic bikes in the world. Its precise handling, stable performance in windy conditions, and its low-drag profile still lays claim to winning the Kona World Championship a staggering six times in a row. It still holds both bike and overall course records across the lava fields of Hawaii to this day. If speed is your thing, you are sure to enjoy the IA. ___ KEY FEATURES AERODYNAMICS: Every racecourse is different, with varying elevation gains, road curvature, and, of course, an endless variety of wind, roiling the course. After endless CFD modelling, wind tunnel testing, and real-world riding of prototypes, countless new designs were scrutinized, updated, and tested again, over and over. The result is a bike worthy of carrying on the legendary IA name, one also featuring the improved performance that disc brakes bring to the riding experience. It’s not merely fast in a straight line — it’s faster in all conditions. DISC BRAKES & THRU-AXLES: Disc brakes are the best means of controlling a bicycle. Period. Plus, they perform best in adverse weather conditions. Wherever the road takes you, and in whatever conditions you find yourself, the disc brake-equipped IA gives you the confidence to tackle any racecourse. To accommodate the added stopping forces provided by disc brakes, the IA features thru-axles rather than traditional quick-release skewers. It’s a proven design that provides a more secure interface between the bicycle frame and the wheel, which also enhances the stiffness of the frame-and-wheel connection. STORAGE SOLUTIONS: The IA comes equipped with Felt’s integrated CALpac 2.0. This storage unit features ample space for all of the riding essentials to which a rider needs quick and easy access. Likewise, the IA includes the BTSpac storage device, located behind the seat tube. This unit is ideal for a flat tire repair kit and/or on-the-go tool kit, or any other items that a rider doesn’t require while pedalling. Its shape has been aerodynamically optimized for the IA, creating no aero drag penalty. ___ What we offer ___ Price Match Policy^ – Contact Us Before You Buy Service+ + 90-Day Complimentary First Service With All Bikes + 1 Year Free Gear and Brake Adjustments + Initial Setup Fitting Included With All Race Bikes + Upgrade To Comprehensive Biometric Fit At 50% Off Warranty+ + 5-Year Extended Parts Warranty^ Finance Available via Zip on RRP Prices Shipping Shipping available on this bike ^T&C’s Apply ___ Images are indicative only, see Specifications for details.
