The FRD carbon frame uses T800, T1000, and T1100 high-modulus fibers in an optimized ply layup, arriving at an 800-gram frame weight and a complete bike weight of 6.48 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe geometry is the meaningful update here. Felt increased stack height, shortened reach slightly, and steepened the seat tube angle — changes developed in consultation with professional bike fitters. The intent is a position riders can sustain over actual road distances. Lowered seat stays, rear-triangle carbon tuning, and tire clearance to 32mm extend that logic: this is an aero bike designed to be ridden hard for hours, not just raced over flat courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompetitive road cyclists targeting crits, fondos, or fast group rides who want aero performance they can hold for 4–6 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders who've found traditional aggressive aero geometry uncomfortable or unsustainable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRacers who want a complete race-ready build — Dura-Ace Di2, dual-sided power meter, and carbon wheels included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAthletes training with power who want accurate bilateral data without an aftermarket meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsider a different bike if\u003c\/strong\u003e your primary goal is low weight for pure climbing, or if you're not riding at speeds where aerodynamics meaningfully affect performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit sizing is a one-time decision.\u003c\/strong\u003e The fully integrated 1-piece carbon cockpit cannot be swapped for a different stem length after purchase.
