FELT designed the NEXAR around three simultaneous constraints: drag, weight, and fit. At 7.96 kg with a 105 Di2 build, it lands in competitive territory for an aero platform at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis build runs a \u003cstrong\u003efull Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic groupset\u003c\/strong\u003e — FC-R7100 crankset, FD-R7150 front derailleur, RD-R7150 rear derailleur, and ST-R7170 levers. The 52\/36T chainrings and 11-34T cassette cover a wide range suited to both flat course speed and moderate climbing. Vision SC45 i23 carbon wheels and Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR 700x28c tires round out a build set up for performance riding in mixed conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders entering an aero carbon platform who want electronic shifting without paying for Ultegra or Dura-Ace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCyclists targeting gran fondos, fast group rides, or criteriums where aerodynamics are a real factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders who have dialed in their position and want a clean, integrated cockpit setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsider a different bike if:\u003c\/strong\u003e you're still adjusting your fit — the integrated cockpit limits adjustability and requires position commitment before purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit before you buy.\u003c\/strong\u003e The FELT Road 1-Piece Integrated Carbon Cockpit is specific to the NEXAR platform.
