Felt Bicycles AR2
Details
The AR2 is built for speed, and its unique design was crafted by the most advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and honed inside the wind tunnel. Crafted from UHC Advanced + TeXtreme carbon fiber, the AR2 sports a light, responsive and durable frame. Equipped with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 11-speed group for flawless and lightning-quick shifts, the AR2 is optimized for peak performance in sprints, breakaways and the fastest group rides. No other aero road bike in the world offers such a precise blend of speed, pedaling stiffness and incredible handling.
Electronic drivetrain systems deliver excellent shifting, easy set up, and solid battery life. Here are some benefits of electronic shifting that you don't want to miss.
Shifting Performance
Electronic shifting systems use powerful servo motors to rapidly shift the chain. Because microprocessors and sensors constantly monitor every aspect of the system, they shift with surgical precision and without chain rub.
Customization
Many major systems have customizable shifting. Some have the ability to add remote shifters for common riding positions, and some even allow you to change the functions of the shifting buttons.
Dependability
Electronic groupsets are responsive and consistent. There are no cables to stretch and wear out, so you get a flawless shift every time. The added bonus is you'll never have to replace a derailleur cable ever again.
