Course markers dot the landscape, but they're just a blur as you tear around the circuit, carving through corners and smoothly flying over the barriers. You're on Felt's F1X, and its fantastic full-carbon frame and tapered fork have you feeling stronger as you near the bell lap. The F1X's cross-specific geometry is dialed to perfection and there's even a flattened top tube section for shouldering. Back on the ground, SRAM supplies a 1x11 group that is perfectly suited for the slop. Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth, well-modulated control in all conditions, so scrubbing speed as you approach those corners is never a concern. Regardless of weather, you'll own the best lines with a pair of DT Swiss wheels wrapped in sticky, supple Schwalbe tires. And the svelte 3T components, and supportive Prologo saddle are with you on your best season ever.
