Felt Bikes Stands By Its Aluminum Frames

Although some cyclists prefer titanium, Felt won't lose faith in its aluminum frames.

Felt Bikes has built itself a solid reputation in the world of cycling. Its mission is to build the best possible bike for each segment of the cycling world. For over a decade, they have realized that each segment within the sport of cycling has its own requirements and needs in regards to products. It has a full line of road, MTB, shot, BMX, cruiser and freeride bicycles. The company also offers bike components and a full line of cycling apparel.

Although most serious cyclists deem a titanium bicycle the best one can get if you can afford it, Felt stands by its line of aluminum products. They say that aluminum bikes have been given a "bad rap" and that their custom-shaping enhances a bike's handling and comfort during a ride. Felt uses an aluminum alloy for its bikes that has a zinc base to enhance its strength. Scandium is added to the aluminum to further increase its strength.

Whether you prefer titanium, aluminum or even carbon fiber bikes, one cannot argue with the quality produced by Felt. In terms of cycling apparel, they offer everything from jerseys, to ball caps, to visors. Although not as colorful as some other cycling apparel out there, Felt's signature black and white with a hint of red is still a welcome choice when riding. Their cycling apparel isn't as extensive as some other companies, but they still have a basic selection of anything you might need. Whether it be for bicycles or apparel, Felt will provide some welcome selection.
