It ships with \u003cstrong\u003eShimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic shifting\u003c\/strong\u003e, TRP hydraulic disc brakes, and Vision SC 60 carbon wheels — a competition-ready spec at the 105 tier that doesn't require upgrading before race day. The frame's integrated hydration and nutrition storage is purpose-built for non-drafting racing. This is the exact bike Solveig Løvseth rode to win the 2025 IRONMAN World Championship in Kona — with the fastest bike split in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVision SC 60 i23 carbon wheelset\u003c\/strong\u003e paired with Continental Grand Prix TR 700x25c tires balances aerodynamic depth with day-to-day durability. Felt's dedicated IA 2.0 carbon basebar and carbon seatpost are spec'd specifically for this frame, keeping the cockpit purpose-aligned. The Prologo Zero Tri PAS saddle is shaped for the rotated hip position required in the aero tuck over long efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge-group triathletes racing 70.3 or full Ironman distances who want a proven race platform with electronic shifting and carbon wheels stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders moving up from aluminum or entry-level tri bikes ready for a meaningful aerodynamic and drivetrain upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAthletes who want integrated nutrition and hydration without bolting on third-party accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsider a different bike\u003c\/strong\u003e if you primarily race road events, draft-legal triathlons, or heavily climbing courses — the IA 2.0 is purpose-built for non-drafting long-course racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit before anything else.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tri bike geometry is aggressive — saddle fore\/aft, pad stack, and reach must be dialed to your body and swim-to-run flexibility.
