In October 2015, Felt presented the Decree as a new all-mountain/trail bike. Back then, the bike with its 140 millimeters of travel impressed with its frame stiffness, weight, propulsion and handling. However, demands have changed here too, and Felt is now presenting the second generation of this bike. What has remained is the FAST suspension system which, thanks to flexible struts, manages without pivot supports in the dropout area. However, the rear triangle has been revised.

As the Decree has progression thanks to the pre-tensioned seat stays, the first generation required ten kilograms to activate the suspension. This proved to be less than ideal for lighter riders. With the new Decree, the revised rear triangle now only requires five kilograms. The carbon rocker arms are also new, which benefits stiffness. The shock is now based on a metric measurement with a Trunion mount.

Felt has also lowered the seat tube by ten millimeters, which provides even more space for longer-travel dropper posts. Where the first generation "Decree" just missed out on the Boost cable, the new bike now also comes with a Boost rear triangle. But that's not all: the new Decree can take tires up to 2.6 inches wide at the rear.

Edict: old name - new frame

Two fullies were on show during the 2017 cross-country season. Firstly, the current model that Thomas Litscher successfully raced and secondly, an ugly "camouflaged" prototype that Nicola Rohrbach gave the spurs to, but where one could only assume that it was the new model.
In fact, it is the new model and without the "camouflage suit" it looks really great - elegant and aggressive at the same time. Visually, it is closer to the Decree and also has the revised FAST suspension system, which has a better spring characteristic: more sensitive, but with more progressive support, for example when overcoming obstacles.

Equally important changes have been made to the geometry: for example, the seat angle has been steepened by 1.3 degrees to improve power transmission. The steering angle, on the other hand, has been slackened by 1.5 degrees to improve the bike's handling on fast descents. To ensure that it doesn't lose its agility, Felt has trimmed the chainstays - from 450 to 436 millimeters. The reach has increased by 15 millimetres.

As with the Decree, the frame of the Edict top model "FRD" is also made from the high-end carbon fiber TeXtreme®. Overall, the Edict FRD frame is 450 grams lighter, but also 15 percent stiffer. The advantages of this probably need no explanation.

The Edict comes with a metric shock with a bearing mount, fully internally routed cables and the frame is prepared for the use of Vario seat posts. Incidentally, the Twentyniner also comes with 21.5 inches.9.5 andwentyniner also prepared with supports. he features: more sensitive, buten to improve power transmission. boost rear triangle.

The new Edict is available in sizes 16, 17.5, 19.5 and 21.5 inches.

Doctrine: For the hardtail fans

The "Doctrine" hardtail is designed to compete on the modern but faster cross-country trails in the World Cup. The model is new, or rather it replaces the previous "Nine" model. It comes with a slightly flattened steering angle of 69.5 degrees, 430 millimeter short chainstays and a nine millimeter longer reach.

Felt gives the 29-inch hardtail plenty of tire clearance. Tires up to 2.35 inches wide fit inside. This gives the rider the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of the hardtail without sacrificing grip and comfort. Felt also hides the cables completely in the frame of this bike.
The Doctrine is available in sizes 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 inches.

All three models are also available as a frame kit.
