FRD stands for Felt Racing Development, and the 22-pound i>(10kg),/i> 29-inch-wheel, Edict FRD is the brand's expression of what a competitive dual-suspension cross-country racing bike should look like. The 100-millimeter-travel Edict chassis is constructed with Felt's UHC Ultimate carbon system, and it introduces their 'FAST' single-pivot rear suspension. The Edict has no rear dropout pivot, relying instead on designed-in vertical flex of the carbon swingarm. The seatstays drive a simple rocker and the suspension is powered a Rockshox Monarch XX shock. Felt is one of the few brands that has taken delivery on the new RockShox RS1 inverted fork, and both the fork and shock are simultaneously controlled with a handlebar-mounted Full Sprint button. Components are nearly all carbon and the drivetrain is SRAM's XX1. The Edict's frame numbers are classic XC, beginning with a 71.5-degree head angle and a 73-degree seat angle. If you are a bib-wearing spandex-clad racer boy with $8999 burning a hole in your jersey pocket for a Felt Edict FRD, you will probably be to recite the rest of its numbers by heart.
