Triathlon/TT Tuesday - FELT DA4



Today we are going to highlight an outstanding Felt TT/Triathlon bike - The Felt DA4.  As you can see from the above picture this bike just screams speed and it is a great bike for the price point that it is offered at.

Let's see what Felt has to say about this beautiful bike:

The DA4 is the most affordable of the DA TT/Tri line, and comes out of the same mold as the premier DA1. Incorporating UHC Advanced carbon fiber construction and the same frame shape and Bayonet 3 fork used in the other DA models, the DA4 delivers top-notch performance on race day. Ultegra derailleurs, Vision Metron shifters, and TTR3 aero wheels complete the package and give you a bike ready to take you to a new PR.

As I have mentioned in past Triathlon/TT bike posts the key to getting the best bike for you is the fit process.  If you really want to be your fastest and most comfortable on the bike you need to first get a proper fit and then take those measurements to the floor and see which bike fits "your mold" the best.  Tom's offers this service by appointment only but it is a service that is well served to you, the customer.

To set up a fit appointment or to look at our complete line of TT/Triathlon bikes stop by the shop, give us a call, or send us an e-mail.
