Felt Bicycles VR2
Details
It’s a great, big world out there, and the modern endurance cyclist requires the most advanced equipment for exploring the open road and beyond. The VR2 is the flagship model in Felt’s VR Series, and it’s crafted from UHC Advanced + TeXtreme carbon fiber for a lightweight and durable chassis. It’s built with top-of-the-line components like Shimano Ultegra R8050 Di2 electronic shifters and hydraulic disc brakes, DT Swiss tubeless-ready wheels, 3T Ernova Pro handlebar, and a Prologo saddle. With incredible tire clearance for utilizing road racing rubber, contemporary gravel tires, and everything in between, the VR2 is ready for whatever journey the road presents.
Electronic drivetrain systems deliver excellent shifting, easy set up, and solid battery life. Here are some benefits of electronic shifting that you don't want to miss.
Shifting Performance
Electronic shifting systems use powerful servo motors to rapidly shift the chain. Because microprocessors and sensors constantly monitor every aspect of the system, they shift with surgical precision and without chain rub.
Customization
Many major systems have customizable shifting. Some have the ability to add remote shifters for common riding positions, and some even allow you to change the functions of the shifting buttons.
Dependability
Electronic groupsets are responsive and consistent. There are no cables to stretch and wear out, so you get a flawless shift every time. The added bonus is you'll never have to replace a derailleur cable ever again.
