Felt AR2 ?????

Giss

Looking at buying the 2013 Felt AR2.
I have ridden and really liked the ride and was very impressed with the acceleration. my question is what is it like after 4 -5 hours in the saddle and also what is it like to climb on as I could only ride it on the flat (up the high street).
I am upgrading from an Orbea Onix and need a good all round bike as I plan to do more 100 milers and some local Time Trials next season.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

I have the AR4, its a superb bike, I feel great in the saddle and have done a couple of 5 hour rides that were great but my issue was down to saddle height too high.
Climbing is great but only after I changed the chainset to a compact. The factory set is not so good imo.

Prices have now dropped too which make it a bargain when compared to similar spec bikes.

My GF rides the AR and loves it... I also have a friend who rides one aswell...

They are great bikes.. My friend regularly does 100miles and over rides on his with no issues..

My personal experiance of riding the. Is also positive... Although they are not as stiff as other carbon bikes due to the skinny aero downtube... But it's not really THAT noticeable and still better the. alu...

Hi Vtech,

I've just changed bikes from a 2012 F4 to the 2013 AR2. It's a great bike, smooth ride and very fast. The Ultegra Di2 is incredible the gear changes are so precise. It feels no less comfortable than the F4 did.

I run an independent bike shop in Essex, and we also sell online. There are some great deals at the moment on the last remaining 2013 Felt ARs (hence the change of bike for me) - I'm pretty certain I can do you the best price you'll find, that's if you've not already bought one. The AR2 is available in 54, 56 and 58

If you're close enough you're more than welcome to come and try the demo AR2 - it's a 56.

Let me know if you are interested, either post here or email me
