Hi I’m considering a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert ,but also like the look of the FELT Virtue 1 but no one has one to view/ test ,has anybody seen ,ridden a Felt or have any views.
Cheers

Felt virtue is a great bike, one of the nicest suspension feels around with the equilink,climbs brilliantly without bob however, its not a uk friendly mud proof set up and I used to find I’d get through a full set of bearings every 6 months or so and there is a lot of bloomin bearings in those things.

This is based on owning one of the earlier virtues though so they may well have got it sorted now.

Thanks Tazzy by lack of replies ,obviously not a popular bike in th e UK – cheers

Echo Tazzy re bearings & the climability; mine also was an early model. I got shot as I thought it was a bit crap on the downs compared to the FSR Stumpy I replaced it with.

Fortunately I still had the stumpy 😀
