Stable, comfortable, relatively light and super agile: riding the F2 is fun from the very first metre. In order to be able to use the carbon frame for both shifting worlds, there are threads next to the openings for the Di2 cables to which cable stops can be screwed if required - a simple, elegant solution. The battery has been placed inconspicuously under the left-hand chainstay. The equipment is among the best the test field has to offer. In addition to the Ultegra Di2, the highlight is the lightweight Shimano wheels with aluminium-carbon rims, which are technically almost at Dura-Ace level. They make a noticeable contribution to the fact that the F2 turns out to be a corner sweeper like hardly any other model in the test, without ever running the risk of slipping into unpredictability. The felt's own carbon seatpost provides excellent suspension and contributes to the all-round convincing riding impression.
