The Felt IA series has to be in the conversation for the most dominant triathlon bikes in the world. With six consecutive wins at the Kona Ironman World Championships and has picked up multiple 70.3 World Championships as well. The IA series has multiple course records in bike legs and has become the machine that all other tri bikes will have to measure themselves again. This bike is made with the most aerodynamic bike in Felt’s history so you will blaze through the wind and save seconds in all areas on the IA Advanced. It is equipped with a Shimano Ultegra mechanical grouspet gives riders reliable shifting at a great price. Anyone ready to smash personal bests on the bike without paying a massive price can do so on a Felt IA Advanced Ultegra.

The frame of the IA Advanced is made with UCH Carbon which is a high-modulus and stiff material that remains lightweight while promoting maximum pedaling efficiency. This material is used in the aerospace industry and on Formula One race cars. A blend of different carbons creates a strong and durable material without a weight penalty. The frame also allows for up to 28mm of tire clearance which is more than any other Felt triathlon bike. The Felt IA Advanced frame’s only goal is to go fast and enhance your riding experience.

The new version of the IA Advanced has been redesigned to accommodate disc brakes and perform in all ride conditions. Disc brakes offer the best control of your bike with more power, modulation, and overall better performance than rim brakes. This is especially true on descents, giving riders the confidence to drop seconds on downhills. Thru-axles create an interface between the frame and wheel which also enhances the stiffness of the frame/wheel connection. This creates crisper and swifter shifting with more lively and predictable steering. Regardless of the situation, these brakes will make you feel in control of your bike at the highest speeds.

Convenience and usability are huge perks of any triathlon bike. The Felt IA Advanced can accommodate more wheel options for a fit custom to a rider’s specific goals or preferences. Wheels can be swapped out without having to worry about changing brake pads or adjusting cables. The brake pads are longer lasting and self-adjusting to help cut down on maintenance obligations. Best of all, the Felt IA Advanced is easy to disassemble for travel. Regardless for where in the world your next race is, this bike will come with you with no hassle.

Triathletes require integrated components and storage that do not disrupt the aerodynamic form of the bike. A CALpac 2.0 aerodynamic storage unit is integrated onto the top tube. This is perfect for storing all the items that riders need easy access to on the fly. Another aerodynamic BTSpac storage unit is located at the rear of the bike. It has an aerodynamic shape as well, serving as the tail of the frame. This unit is great for a flat tire repair kit or on the go tool kit. This bike is convenient and integrated without losing an ounce of its pure speed and aerodynamics. The Felt IA Advanced Shimano Ultegra gives riders a reasonable price on an incredibly fast and efficient triathlon machine.
