2014 Felt Z1 Frame Kit (Matte Carbon)

Season:2014

Brand:Felt

Code:FELT14Z1FK

The Z1 is Felt’s most versatile road bike. With the longer wheelbase and taller head tube, the Z1 suits the racer as well as the gran fondo rider. Made with Felt’s Endurance Road UHC Ultimate + Nano MMC carbon fibre and using a proprietary InsideOut internal molding process, the Z1 is lightweight and surefooted in any situation. The Z1 fork shares the same features as the frame and is constructed from the UHC Ultimate + Nano with the carbon fibre ControlTaper 1.125" - 1.5" carbon fibre steerer tubes, integrated race, fork crown, blades, and dropouts.

The Felt Z series bikes were completely redesigned at the beginning of the 2013 season with a fresh approach and refined materials. Every angle and dimension was analysed to optimise the frame's overall ride quality. As a result of this meticulous approach the Z series is faster than ever before thanks to increased stiffness and lower weight. As with everything that Felt designs, the Z1 is focused on performance and this is evident from the surprising liveliness of the ride. When the bike is launched into a corner the stability of the longer wheelbase and direct tracking of the front end keep your line true and literally ‘ping’ you out the other side; the comfort offered by the exposed seat-post means that you’ll be fresh even after hours in the saddle.

The UHC Ultimate + Nano MMC carbon fibre comprises a quartet of uni-directional fibres; Intermediate, High Modulus, Ultra High Modulus and finally a 1K weave which are layed up in combination to yield an ideal blend of high strength, low weight, stiffness and compliance. The real secret to this balance of features is not so much the carbon but the Nano Resin that Felt have developed. Since Felt's Nano resin has microscopic particles that are elongated instead of round, the bond between resin and fiber is tougher due to the increase in surface area the Nano particles have with the carbon fiber. This increase in surface area translates to toughness, which means it’s possible to use more high modulus material without losing strength. It is literally a molecular change that yields impressive real world results and which ultimately leads to dramatic weight reductions with no sacrifice in terms of strength or stiffness.

Like all Felt carbon frames, the Z1 uses a Modular Monocoque Construction (MMC) method. MMC allows individual sections of the frame to be molded for their unique purpose, then joined to form the complete frame optimising it in terms of the engineering requirements of each specific area. In addition the 'Inside Out' molding process employed by Felt reduces overbuilding and wastage at the joins, yielding a frame as clean on the inside as it is outside and that saves a significant amount of weight. Coupled with a BB30 bottom bracket and the use of Felt's Vibration Reducing stays, one can see how it is possible to have both the power transfer you expect on race specific machines and the comfort and smooth handling of a Gran Fondo bike.

There is an oft held belief that a race bike cannot be comfortable or that a 'Sportive' bike cannot be racy and thus the design goals of the Z series were simple: make a race ready bike without limiting rider position or all-day capability. Felt Z frames use a slightly taller head tube for greater flexibility in stem and bar position, as well as overall rider comfort. They feature sloping top tubes for increased stand over clearance, and benefit from improved vertical compliance from an enhanced cockpit layout. The Felt Z series bikes use a slightly longer wheelbase for confident handling at any speed.

In this riders view the Z1 is one of the most agile and rewarding bikes to ride outside of race-specific geometry offerings. Handling is definite and crisp in a 'point-and-shoot' sense: spot your line, aim it and it will go there. No drama.

This is a fun bike to ride – and that surely is the goal.

The Z1 Frame is both Electronic and Mechanical groupset compatible and is available in 5 sizes from 51cm to 61cm. It comes supplied with Ceramic BB30 bearings and FSA integrated headset.
