Felt Z5 2016 - Road Bike
The Z5 is the entry level carbon composite model in Felt’s best selling Z series range. The 2016 Z5 is optimised for long distance comfort and efficiency making it the ideal endurance and sportive bike.
It’s an excellent commuter during the week while encouraging you to discover new rides and enjoy the endless tarmac at the weekend. That superb carbon composite frame will get you riding further and faster for longer than you’ve ridden before.
You can buy the Felt Z5 endurance road bike through a 0% interest Tredz Finance package.
Frame & Fork
Key to the exquisite ride feel is the UHC Performance carbon fibre frame. Felt’s engineers use a mix of high and medium modulus fibres to provide stiffness and malleability where it’s needed.
Also used is Felt’s InsideOut construction technique for precision engineering of the carbon layup. This translates into consistent performance on the road.
The Z5 is not a sluggish endurance bike. The frame is constructed with plenty of lateral and torsional rigidity for efficient power transfer and precise handling. Down low is a BB30 bottom bracket which helps improve lateral stiffness. However, vertical compliance is built in through slim seat stays and composite frame material for a comfortable ride.
Internal cable routing creates a clean looking frame while protecting your cables. The Z5 is compatible with electronic gears if you’re looking to make future upgrades.
Upfront is a carbon composite fork to help with steering precision and provide vibration damping for your hands. The carbon fibre seatpost also helps to absorb road buzz to keep your muscles feeling fresher for longer.
Components
Equipped is a performance spec Shimano 11 speed 105 groupset. Compact cranks and a wide range cassette allow you to tackle a versatile range of terrain. The Z5 runs on lightning quick Felt RSL3 rims.
Size specific short reach handlebars and crank lengths (as well as stem) gives you the best fit on the frame, regardless of the frame size you choose. These features will keep you in the saddle for longer.
