FELT Bicycles is proud to announce the launch of the all-new BREED, a gravel racing bike developed for riders who line up to compete, not just explore. Designed and engineered at FELT’s headquarters in Barcelona, the BREED redefines what a fast gravel bike should feel like: aero, super light, precise, and efficient in all kinds of race conditions.
The BREED is not an adaptation of a road or adventure bike. It is a purpose-built gravel racing platform, developed for modern competition where speed, control, and durability must coexist at the highest level. The previous BREED generation launched in 2022 was already setting benchmarks, introducing solutions that later became category standards such as oversized tire clearance, multiple integrated bottle mounts or a race-focused geometry. This racing legacy, proven over the years by consistent podium finishes in the main international gravel races, truly represents the DNA of the new FELT BREED.
Weight Reduction
With a frame weighing 950g in size 54, the BREED FRD achieves a benchmarking overall weight of 7,037 kg. This represents a 22.8% weight reduction vs. the previous equivalent BREED model.
The BREED is offered in two dedicated carbon layups, tuned to balance weight, stiffness, and durability across the various builds.
The BREED delivers a significant 10.5% drag improvement compared to the previous generation. This was mainly achieved by a new frame optimized for gravel-specific, a redesigned fork managing airflow around wider tires, and FELT’s ultralight carbon one-piece cockpit helping to reduce total aerodynamic drag.
Fit & Geometry
BREED’s aero road-inspired geometry is designed for speed and control. A low bottom bracket drop increases cornering confidence, while a longer front end and balanced trail deliver high-speed stability. The rear triangle stiffness is tuned for immediate feedback under sprinting and hard accelerations, critical in gravel racing where positioning into sectors or corners can decide the outcome.
Clearance for modern wide gravel tires allows riders to choose up to 54 mm in the front and 52mm in the rear. The frame is engineered to accommodate multiple race configurations, including up to four bottle mounts, optional suspension fork and full dropper post compatibility.
Geometry and ride characteristics remain consistent across six frame sizes, ensuring every rider benefits from the same handling balance and race-ready fit.
Specifications
The BREED is available in four complete builds, engineered around two distinct carbon platforms.
The FRD and PRO models use FELT’s highest-grade carbon, delivering maximum structural efficiency, very low weight, and precise handling for elite and high-level competitive racing.
The EXPERT and RACE builds feature a proven FELT carbon construction, slightly heavier but optimized for durability and stiffness while maintaining the same race-focused geometry.
All models are equipped with SRAM groupsets. BREED is also offered as an FRD framekit option.
Availability
The BREED will be available globally through FELT Authorized Dealers starting May 2026. For full specifications, build details, and pricing, please contact FELT directly.
