Felt DA 3 Triathlon Bike 2012The TT and triathlon-specific UHC Advanced carbon fiber frame of the DA3 is combined with Felt’s super-aero Bayonet 3 carbon aero fork to create the ultimate machine to take you from your swim to your run faster than ever. With professional-grade SRAM Red components and Felt’s TTR2 wheelset, The DA3 is the most advanced Time Trial/Triathlon bike in this price range on the market today.
TechnologyBayonet Fork: The Bayonet is Felt’s patented aerodynamic fork design for time trial, triathlon, and track bikes. By moving the fork’s steerer tube outside the frame we were able to increase front-end stiffness and steering precision, while dramatically decreasing wind drag. It’s the fastest, most aerodynamic fork and steering system in the world. Wind Tunnel Testing: This product directly benefited from advanced computer design work using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software from CD-Adapco as well as extensive wind tunnel testing to make them as aerodynamically efficient and technologically advanced as possible. Internal Cable Routing: This indicates the use of flow-through internal cable routing. It reduces wind drag and prevents contaminants from entering and interfering with the function of brake or shifter cables. InsideOut: InsideOut is a revolutionary internally optimized molding process that completely eliminates excess material, and therefore weight, inside the frame tubes and junctions. Placing polyurethane inserts inside the frame during the molding process—especially at the bottom bracket and head tube area—and then applying a precise amount of pressure and heat results in perfectly formed tubes, inside and out. Modular Monocoque Construction: An advanced carbon fiber manufacturing technique that allows Felt to mold individual sections of the frameset and then join them together. The main advantage of MMC is that it allows each section to be optimized to meet the specific engineering demands of that particular section of the frame. UHC Advanced: Ultra Hybrid Carbon Advanced refers to the lightweight, stiff and durable blend of carbon fiber material used in the performance frames bearing the UHC Advanced label. Because the high modulus materials have a higher fiber to resin ratio, these frames are typically about 20% lighter than UHC Performance frames while remaining equally strong and stiff. UHC Advanced offers the best combination of value and performance. DuPont Paint: Felt’s DuPont paint is the highest quality paint offered on Felt products. Reserved for our top-of-the-line bicycles, DuPont paint offers unparalleled clarity and durability in a multitude of colors. Technical Specs
