Felt: Hot cruisers, hardtails with carbon struts

So-called "beach cruisers" could be seen at a striking number of stands. Thanks to their wide saddles and handlebars, these technically simple bikes allow for comfortable and relaxed cycling and ensure that their owners attract a lot of attention in traffic. At the Felt stand, this spectacular one-off, which unfortunately will never be available to buy, was particularly eye-catching: The telescopic fork is as endlessly long as the chain, the attention to detail from the golden anodized rims to the gimmicks integrated into the tank dummy such as a clock and a small gearshift is breathtaking. Of course, Felt also offers a further expanded fleet of standard cruisers.

In addition, the top model in the cross-country sector, a hardtail with a Scandium main frame and carbon seat stays, has been given a less controversial name: Instead of "EPO", the part on which the Swiss team X.0-Felt-Gonso also competes in its races is now called "RXC". The frame of the dual hardtail on which Marco Zingg and the "ewz Loop" team race in Switzerland has also been significantly redesigned. The fact that Felt bikes are not only doing well on the racetracks in Switzerland, but also in specialist shops, is proven by the fact that the local importer Amsler was awarded the "Distributor of the Year" award by Felt for the 2004 financial year.
