About The Felt BREED PRO SRAM FORCE AXS XPLR Gravel Bike

The Felt BREED PRO is a carbon gravel race bike built on the same 12K carbon frame and integrated carbon cockpit as Felt's top-tier FRD, with a drivetrain configured for variable terrain and long-distance racing. At 7.86 kg (54 cm), it competes on weight with purpose-built gravel race machines without requiring custom spec work to get there.

The drivetrain is a deliberate mullet configuration: SRAM FORCE AXS XPLR wireless shifting up front, GX Eagle T-Type rear derailleur, and a 10-52T cassette paired with a 42T chainring. That combination delivers road-level front shifting quality with mountain bike rear range — practical for courses where climbs demand low gears but the flats still reward speed. The SRAM FORCE XPLR crankset includes an integrated power meter standard, adding training utility without an aftermarket purchase. Vision SC45 i23 carbon wheels and Continental Terra Competition Race Rapid tires in 700x45c complete a build that's race-ready as delivered.

Who It's For

  • Gravel racers who want an FRD-level frame and cockpit at a step-down price
  • Riders who regularly face mixed terrain — paved sectors, loose gravel, and sustained climbs — and need the range a 10-52T cassette provides
  • Cyclists who train with power data and don't want to source or budget for a separate power meter
  • Riders comfortable committing to a size-specific integrated cockpit for aerodynamic and weight benefits

Consider a different bike if you prefer a traditional bar/stem setup for easy fit adjustments, primarily race flat or rolling courses where the 10-52T range isn't an asset, or want a more relaxed endurance geometry.

What to Look For

  • Cockpit fit: The Felt 1-piece integrated carbon cockpit is frame-size-specific and pre-matched at purchase. Reach and stack should be confirmed before ordering — post-sale adjustment requires replacing the entire cockpit unit.
  • Drivetrain range vs. course profile: The 42T/10-52T mullet setup is tuned for terrain with meaningful climbing. Riders racing primarily flat or fast-rolling gravel may find a tighter cassette range more efficient.
  • Tire choice: The bike ships with Continental Terra Competition Race Rapid 700x45c — a fast-rolling race tire optimized for packed and mixed-surface gravel. Confirm this suits your typical conditions before considering alternatives.

Key Features

Frame & Fork The BREED PRO uses the same 12K carbon layup as Felt's FRD, their top gravel platform. This isn't a step-down carbon spec — the frame construction, ride characteristics, and weight penalty (or lack thereof) are drawn from the same source. Fork material matches.

Groupset & Drivetrain The mullet drivetrain combines SRAM FORCE AXS XPLR electronic wireless shifting with a GX Eagle T-Type rear derailleur and SRAM XS-1275 10-52T cassette. FORCE AXS handles front shifting with consistent, precise actuation; T-Type provides the rear range that 10-52T demands. The SRAM FORCE XPLR crankset runs a 42T chainring with integrated power meter — crank-based power, no additional hardware required.

Braking SRAM FORCE AXS E1 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm SRAM Paceline Centerlock rotors front and rear. Stopping performance and modulation are consistent with the FORCE component tier.

Wheels & Tires Vision SC45 i23 carbon wheels — 45mm depth, 23mm internal width — are well-matched to the 700x45c tire spec. Continental Terra Competition Race Rapid tires offer low rolling resistance on the packed and mixed-surface gravel courses this bike is built for.

Cockpit The Felt 1-piece integrated carbon cockpit — same spec as the FRD — reduces system weight and improves aerodynamics vs. a standard bar/stem combination. Cockpit dimensions are size-matched to the frame.

Rider Intent Summary

  • Biggest strengths: FRD-level carbon frame and cockpit at a lower price point; mullet drivetrain handles climbing terrain without sacrificing front shifting quality; integrated power meter standard
  • Tradeoffs: Integrated cockpit limits fit flexibility post-purchase; 10-52T rear range best suited to variable or climbing-heavy terrain rather than flat racing
  • What makes it different: The BREED PRO puts the FRD's frame and cockpit under a mullet-specific drivetrain with a power meter already in the crankset — it arrives as a competition-ready build, not a stock bike with room to upgrade

Victory's Take

At Victory Bicycle Studio, the BREED PRO stands out for what it doesn't ask you to do after purchase — the FRD carbon underneath and FORCE XPLR power meter already in the crankset mean you're racing on day one, not building toward it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the bike packaged and how long does delivery take?

All bikes are securely packaged to ensure that damage doesn't occur during shipping. All parts of the bike are padded and if needed, zip tied to minimize or eliminate movement inside the box. Once a bike is handed to the shipping company (usually Fedex or UPS), depending on your location, delivery will range from 1 day to 8 days. If you do choose the option for Professional Assembly or White Glove Delivery, this can add anywhere from 2 days to 5 days to the lead time.

Can I finance the purchase of my new bike?

Yes.  Simply select the Shop Pay Installments option which will allow you to buy now and pay later.  Shop Pay Installments is powered by Affirm.  If you would like to determine your spending limit, simply download the Shop app or the Affirm app on your smartphone and after you create an account on one of these apps, the app will let you know what is your spending limit.

Can I return the bike if it doesn't suit my needs?

Our return process is as follows. The customer is responsible for the return label ($150). Once the returned bike arrives at our warehouse, our team will inspect it and make sure it is in new condition and undamaged. Once we verify, we will process the return and issue a refund to the original payment method on file. To clarify the amount refunded, it would just be the amount of the bike (and tax if applicable) less the $150 shipping label that we provided, but the original shipping is not refunded. So if the original bike cost $4,500 and shipping was $150 (so you paid $4,650), you would be refunded $4,350 (the $4,500 less $150 for the return label) assuming the bike was returned in new and un-used condition and within the 30 day return period.

What does the warranty of my new bike or product cover and what is the warranty period?

Depending on the bike or any product, different companies have different warranty policies.  If you do ever have an issue with your bike or any product, simply email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will assist with any warranty issues and clarify the warranty for the affected product.

Can I have my bike serviced at any bike shop?

Typically, to avoid any issues with your warranty, you should bring your bike to a certified mechanic or bike store for that bike (i.e. if you have a Trek bicycle, you should bring the bike to be serviced to a local bike store that is an authorized Trek dealer).  If you need assistance, simply email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we can direct you to a certified dealer of your bike.

Do you ship bikes internationally?

We unfortunately do not ship bikes outside of the 48 contiguous states of the United States. We do recommend for international customers to open (or use a current account) account with a freight forwarding company. If you use a freight forwarding company located in the U.S., make sure to put your billing address for a dedicated credit card as the same address as the freight forwarder so that you don't have any credit card or payment method issues).

Once you do this, simply place an order with us and we can ship to the U.S. address as long as the credit card doesn't get rejected. Once the freight forwarder has the box/order/shipment, you would instruct them to then ship to you in your home country and they would charge you their own shipping charge to ship to your international address.

Do you offer free shipping?

We do offer free shipping on non-bike orders over $100. We do not offer free shipping for bicycles unless it is a one time promotion. Generally, bike shipping will cost $150 and that covers just the shipping of the bike with no assembly. If you were to bring that bike to your local mechanic or bike store, you would pay them their assembly fee. If you choose our Professional Assembly option for $200, our service technicians would assemble the bike before shipping and then re-pack the bike safely for transit. When you receive the bike you would attach the front wheel, attach the seatpost/saddle, and raise the handlebars and clamp them. Those three items do have to be detached to minimize or eliminate the chance of damage in transit.

How much does shipping cost?

For orders of parts, accessories, apparel, etc. on orders under $100, shipping is a flat rate of $9.99. Regular bike shipping without assembly is $150, bike shipping with Professional Assembly is an additional $200 (so $350 in total which includes the $150 of regular shipping). Our White Glove Delivery option is $699 and that will cover the assembly of the bike and our White Glove Delivery partner delivering your dream bike to your front door, ready to ride!

How can I track my order?

When you place your online order, you will receive an instantaneous email update with your order number and order details, and shortly after, you will receive a follow up order email with the tracking number for your order.  If you still need assistance with your order, feel free to email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will respond asap.

What happens if my package arrives damaged?

If your package arrives damaged, email online@victorybicyclestudio.com with pictures of all angles of the box and pictures of the damaged product and we will work with you to either send a new replacement asap and coordinate return (or re-imburse you for labor or costs incurred to fix the issue at your local bike store).

Are pedals included with the bike?

If you do not see pedals in the bullet point product specs on the product page, the bike does not come equipped with pedals.  Many manufacturers do not spec bikes with pedals, so they are often purchased separately.

If I only pay the $150 for bike shipping, can I assemble the bike on my own?

Victory Bicycle Studio highly recommends that you bring your bike to your local certified bike store for the brand of the bike that you purchased. If you do attempt to assemble the bike and damage occurs, this may result in your warranty not being honored. For that reason, we do highly recommend to select our Professional Assembly option for $299.
