Felt F6 or Felt F7

KMC1993

I am looking to upgrade from my carrera Zelos and have narrowed down to these 2. The F7 is 9 speed Sora and the F6 is 10 speed tiagra The F6 is around £80 more and has a full carbon fork compared to a alloy/carbon fork on the F7. All the F6 group set components are shimano whereas the F7 has a sunrace cassette, both have the same wheel set.

Does anyone have any reviews of either of these and would you say the flu carbon fork and tiagra is worth the extra £80?

I got a Felt z95 with sora this time last year and after 6k kilometres the sora groupset is still functioning perfectly. The one thing I will say is that starting from tiagra upgrading to better quality 10 speed parts would be easier i.e.105 and ultegra, there's not really any quality upgrades for 9 speed.

Regards the fork I'm not so sure what difference it would make comfort wise, best of luck!

Thanks for the reply, good point re upgrades hadn't though about that. Ive just seen a z85 with 105 for less than the F7 so even more choices! Carbon frame vs alu frame with 105 hmmm buying a bike is so difficult, theres too many I want haha

I absolute love my z95 can't fault it's performance at all, sounds like a no brainer to get the z85 better groupset, carbon frame and cheaper to boot.

There is quite a big difference in geometry between the F and Z series bikes so take that into account.
