FR Women's

01

Origin

The FR Women's is the women's build of Felt's FR road-race platform. Felt's approach here is unambiguous: the frame geometry is the same as the men's FR — same angles, same race intent. What changes are the contact points, with a women's-specific cockpit (bar width, saddle and finishing kit) and crank lengths scaled to the smaller average rider. Because women's models trend toward smaller sizes, claimed weights run slightly lower. It's the same fast, balanced FR ride, fitted for a different rider rather than rebuilt for one.

Specifications

Frame
Same FR frame as the standard FR (aluminum on these builds); women's models differ only in cockpit/finishing parts, not frame geometry
Drivetrain
Shimano road groupset (build-dependent); crank lengths 165-175 mm sized to the frame
Brakes
Rim or hydraulic disc depending on generation/build
Wheels
700c (smaller frames may run 27.5in)

The verdict

+Strengths
  • Shares the proven, balanced FR race geometry
  • Women's-specific cockpit improves fit at the contact points
  • Lighter on average thanks to smaller typical sizing
Weaknesses
  • Race fit is aggressive — not for upright comfort riders
  • Frame geometry isn't actually women's-specific, only the kit is
  • Older alloy builds may use rim brakes
