Felt Bicycles (United States) - Press Release: The all-new AR aero road bike has arrived. It's not only the fastest road bike we've ever created, it's better in every way than its predecessor. It's also a striking example of form following function, and the inherent beauty of vehicles that purpose-built for speed. So in addition to being ridiculously fast, is the new AR also the most beautiful road bike we've ever created? That's not for us to say. But yes, it is. Check out the gallery and judge for yourself. And be sure to check out all of the details about the new AR.

Features:

• The new AR is available with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain.
• The new AR features an all-new version of our proprietary aero seatpost.
• The front-end of the new AR, like the rest of the bike, was designed for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
• If white is more your color, then the new AR has got you covered.
• The new AR is all about clean lines and sleek angles.
• Some of the new AR bike models come complete with deep-dish Reynolds wheels.
• The new AR features a proprietary aero seatpost, and comes with an ultra-stiff and aero proprietary stem—although you can run any stem you wish with the unique semi-integrated front-end system.
