The FELT VR40 is "just right"! A versatile road bike for commuting, long rides, and rough roads.

Frame design that balances comfort and rigidity

The VR40 is an aluminum road bike with butted tubing.

The frame geometry is an all-rounder specification suitable for long rides◎

Safe for beginners! Design that allows for an upright riding position.

The head tube length is a bit "generous" compared to race bikes, but shorter than endurance bikes. The steerer tube has enough clearance to allow for an upright position◎

Excellent straight-line stability◎ Geometry for relaxed riding

The center of gravity (BB DROP) is at a common, popular position these days. The chainstay length is a versatile length that isn't too race-oriented.

Overall, the design strikes a balance between race and endurance, making it a versatile road bike suitable for daily use, long rides, and even light off-road riding◎

Pipe forming ingenuity for lightness and comfort

Even though the VR40 is an entry-level model, you can feel the attention to detail in its tube shaping◎

The top tube has a slightly angular shape, tapering and flattening horizontally from the head tube to the seat tube. This shaping considers both rigidity and vibration absorption◎

Additionally, removing the seat stay bridge improves vibration absorption. The chainstay is flattened near the rear end to improve braking performance.

The cables are routed internally within the frame.

Fenders and bags are also OK! Plenty of mounting points.

And, it features numerous eyelets, which are rare for a road bike◎ There are bolt mounts on the top tube, similar to bottle cage mounts.

In addition, there are also bolt mounts for attaching dedicated fenders◎

Lightweight carbon fork with excellent vibration absorption

The front fork is a simple, monocoque carbon fork. It contributes to both lightness and vibration absorption◎

Supports up to 35mm! Thick tires provide peace of mind◎

The tire clearance supports a maximum width of 35mm, making it an all-road bike specification◎

These specifications are designed for comfortable riding even on slightly rough roads◎ It can be said that this is the essence of the VR series, a multi-purpose all-road bike!

Complete bike weighs only 9.85kg! A lightweight disc road bike.

Incidentally, the bike weighed 9.85kg (actual measurement for size 510). The manufacturer's stated weight is 9.84kg, so it's within the margin of error◎

For a disc road bike with thick tires, this can be said to be a considerably lightweight finish!

FELT VR40 Parts Configuration | Modern Specifications Easy for Beginners to Handle

Full adoption of reliable Shimano Tiagra (2x10 speed)

The main component of the VR40 is Shimano Tiagra (2x10 speed).

The Tiagra grade is a staple specification for entry-level models◎ It's well-suited for daily use and even long rides exceeding 100km.

The brakes are also consistent with Shimano Tiagra hydraulic disc brakes (flat mount type), so there are no issues with braking power◎

Climbing friendly! Lightweight gear ratio design for beginners.

Although the crank is unfortunately not made by Shimano, it is a hollow shaft type crank that maintains rigidity◎

With a gear ratio of front: 50/34T and rear: 11-34T, the lightest gear ratio is "1", which is a welcome feature for long rides including hill climb courses◎

Comfortable for long periods! Ingenious drop bar shape.

While it might be a slightly unusual point, the top section of the drop handlebars is flattened to make it easier to rest your hands.

It's hard to say if it has an aero effect...💦 but it's a welcome feature for long rides◎

Safe for commuting! Thick tires & tubeless ready specifications.

The wheels are aluminum wheels with Shimano hubs. Tubeless-ready is a modern specification◎

The wheel attachment uses a 12mm thru-axle, ensuring excellent clamping force◎

The tires are 700x30c. The high air volume is a choice typical of an all-road bike.

Overall, the specifications feature Shimano Tiagra as the core, incorporating modern features such as flat-mount disc brakes, tubeless readiness, and thru-axles, while also being capable of handling light gravel.◎

This single bike can be enjoyed in a wide range of categories.

Summary | The FELT VR40 is a versatile model perfect for your "first bike"!

If my memory serves me correctly, the VR series existed even before "gravel bikes" emerged.

Considering that FELT was already focusing on the all-road bike genre back then, it really highlights their innovation!

This model is perfect for riders who feel gravel bikes are a bit too much, but still want to ride on riverbanks or light off-road trails, without sacrificing the nimble feel of a road bike!

This 2023 model is now available at a great price in our clearance sale! With "current Tiagra specs" and a frame identical to the "2025 VR40 (different color)", it hardly feels like an old model, making it highly recommended!!

Please consider it!
