Felt Nine 1 (2014)

The Felt Nine 1 is the brand's top hardtail XC racer...big 29" wheels and a tough, lightweight, stiff carbon frame mean this machine can fly over rough terrain. Add in the plush RockShox fork and you've got a bike with excellent trail manners and stability. Shimano XT/XTR components make up the drivetrain, and parts from FSA, Prologo, and Schwalbe take care of the rest. A Shimano XT tubeless wheelset is the crowning touch here.
