Photo: Felt</p></figure><p>Felt Bicycles launched its new 27.5-inch wheeled trail mountain bike, the Decree, Friday in Italy. The full-suspension bike adds to Felt’s family of mountain bikes and features FAST (Felt Active Stay Technology) suspension. “FAST eliminates the dropout pivot in the typical four-bar system to reduce weight and complexity,” said Felt engineer, Brendan Connors.</p>
<p>The Decree FRD complete bike weighs a claimed 24 pounds with SRAM XX1 and Rock Shox Pike RCT3 150mm fork. Frame weight is reportedly 4.5 pounds.</p>
<p>“We exceeded our goals for stiffness, weight, and travel,” said Felt Bicycles mountain bike product manager, Rob Pauley. “Our team was able to develop a trail bike that shines across a wide spectrum of riding conditions.”</p>
<p>The Felt Decree will be available in three carbon models, one aluminum model, and two frame options, and retail pricing will range from $3,500-10,000. Available through select authorized Felt retailers throughout the U.S., the first delivery of the Decree is anticipated for November 2015.</p>
