When Felt set out to develop our all-new Fit Woman (FW) line of women’s bikes, we knew the line would never be just a few womenspecific components thrown onto a men’s frame and splashed with an alternative paint job. We knew it needed to be done right from the ground up, so we started with a blank sheet of paper.

Our engineering team began by consulting with several of our top women athletes, and then by studying textbooks on anthropometry (the study of human body measurements). After all, women are not proportionally smaller than men and therefore simply reducing a men’s bike this way would never achieve our goal. We knew we needed to achieve the perfect body position by factoring in the many different haracteristics of a woman’s body. Once we translated the critical variances in usable, numeric terms, the engineering team was able to work backwards, maintaining that ideal body position while adjusting the frame geometry to properly fit a woman. Beyond the geometry, we also tailored each individual tube’s wall thickness to maintain the lively, reactive, comfortable “Felt feel” regardless of differences in body weight and power.

For 2008 our FW line rises to a new level of performance by way of a new full-carbon frameset,
including size-specific carbon fiber lay-ups to minimize weight and optimize ride quality. From the stem
length to the saddle shape, from the crank length to the Q factor, every single specification has been carefully selected to ideally accommodate a woman’s physique. In short, we have tailored the FW line to
reflect women’s unique requirements and high standards for quality and excellence. And most importantly, to give you a bicycle that loves you as much as you love to ride.

The new FW series from Felt Bicycles. Be you. Be a Fit Woman™.
