FELT IA | ADVANCED, RIM BRAKE | 105 | 2020
The Felt IA Series has won the Ironman World Championship five times in the last six years, which speaks much about its success. The IA | Advanced, Rim Brake is your first step into this elite group. The Shimano 105 R7000 groupset is combined with an all-carbon aero frame in the Felt IA | Advanced, Rim Brake | 105 | 2020. To everyone's satisfaction, Felt brought the lighter and stronger Textreme frameset to the series' entry level model for the 2020 year.
The bike is significantly heavier than the Canyon and Boardman entries on list, but it still weighs under 10kg, which is incredible considering the amount of technology involved. Even better, Felt threw in a BTS storage pack, allowing you to stash your wheel-fixing tools or food/drinks in an aerodynamic compartment.
