Felt has revealed its 2016 MTB line-up, which maintains focus on 29ers with its 12-bike Nine range, with seven bikes apiece for the Virtue and Edict collections. The Compulsion, redesigned in 2014, stays as a top-end enduro machine and remains alloy only. While there are increased fat bike options, 26in rides has been relegated to an entry-level / kids range of three bikes.
Rather than picking sides as a brand, Felt considers itself to focus not just on roadies or on mountain bikers, but on cyclists as a whole. Nevertheless, Felt's MTB heritage goes back further than you might think. Founder Jim Felt first built mountain bike frames in 1989 and introduced a full range at Eurobike 10 years later. Felt was also a 29er early adopter, introducing big-wheeled bikes in 2008 and upgrading to carbon in 2009 with the Nine Carbon.
As Felt moves to its living line format in 2016 – in other words, bikes are only being re-launched with a frame redesign or significant spec change – the Californian brand can boast a total of seven mountain bike lines. Naturally, there’s some crossover in terms of applications for each bike, but Felt’s got enduro, trail and cross-country covered.
