The Felt Q series captures the original and sometimes forgotten
essence of what mountain biking is supposed to be: A Quest for
adventure.
While our Q’s are designed for everyday cross country performance,
the technology inside the frame is nothing short of extraordinary. All
Q’s use premium 6061 aluminum tubing, and share state-of-the-art
forming technologies with their RXC siblings.
For 2008 the Q series underwent a significant redesign to reduce
weight, as well as to capitalize on the latest in tube forming
technology. All Q models feature a new rear triangle which has been
simultaneously slimmed down and stiffened by employing a new
A-stay design. Upper end Q models even benefit from a new doublehydroform
top tube, adding stiffness as well as style with a
muscular flare at the seat tube function. All Q’s utilize an externally
butted seat tube an oversized/flared down tube. The internallymachined,
hourglass-shaped, semi-integrated head tubes and 3D
cold-forged dropouts exhibit the fact that no technical detail goes
unchecked by our in-house engineering team.
When it comes to the ride and handling, Q frame geometry can be
described as less aggressive and a bit more upright, providing greater
comfort in all-condition type riding. The seat tube is oversized at the
BB shell for max stiffness, yet tapers back at the top, providing for
a smaller diameter, more compliant seatpost. Combined, these
features give Q frames their lightweight and comfortable feel, as well
as exceptional power transfer and climbing ability.
Every Q model within our line features disc brakes for maximum
stopping power, Shimano drivetrains for dependable shifting, and the
latest in suspension fork technology. And should the need arise, all
Q’s even feature carrier and fender mounts - ready to be outfitted.
With your quest for performance already fulfilled, you can rest
assured your Q will handle whatever adventure you bring its way.
