Personal Felt F5 Road Bike Review

As you may have seen in another blog post I had reviewed a mountain bike of mine, considering this I think its time for me to talk about a higher performance road bike that I have and still owed. The advantage of reviewing a bike or car that has been owned by that specific person is a true and throe review of the product. Road bike enthusiasts are usually looking for a bike that will give them the fun and enjoyment they strive for a price that wont brake the bank. As being a teenager I also had to search for a road bike that was suitable to my needs as a rider but had to keep it under a somewhat tight budget. Many road bike advocates ride or look for a bike that is between 1,500 and 2,500 dollars. My main goal in purchasing my bike was to fulfill my aspirations of a full carbon frame a a more top of the line component set. After endless hours of research and test rides last spring I came to the conclusion of buying a 2014 Felt F5.


 The Felt F series is a bike used in many of the professional racing leagues which make their appearances in the Tour de France among many other professional races. This bike is usually appealing to those riders that are looking for a more performance oriented bike that gives the ride a bit of an aggressive riding feel. The F series base model starts out at a price of around 1250 dollars and escalates through a range of models and prices to the grand daddy of the them all the Felt F1 which costs close to 11000. This variance in aluminum to full carbon bikes brings many different people buying this bike based on their budget and performance needs. The base model being the F75 is equipped with a light weight aluminum frame and Shimano 105 shifting components with allows for a light and smooth ride. Now if this model doesn’t satisfy all of your hunger for bike then the next level up brings to the table a full carbon frame and similar shifting components. This model being the Felt F5, which I own comes in at a price around 1,800 which allows for a budget for future upgrades and pedals.


 So whether you’re a professional rider and seek time cutting technology and have no price range then The Felt F1 would definitely satisfy all your needs, but if you’re just a cyclist looking to enjoy a fast and enjoyable bike to ride in times where speed is an encouragement and glory then any of the Felt F series models would fulfill your thirsts to ride without breaking the budget.
