Hmmm...Felt doesn't have any online. Do you think it's just the standard 3T DiffLock for oval rails or might it be customized for Felt?

Hi, i think this frame will have Same weight like 2015 ar-1. The blue ar2 bike is for 2016... Looks great, but on the picture it Shows fulcrum Wheels, in the General Info window they write shimano rs-81 c35 Wheels...

Greetings. Im a long time lurker but just registered on this site. I just bought a 2015 Felt AR3 ... cant wait to get it. Its replacing a 2011 TCR composite. I was wonder if some of you guys with 54cm AR's can post a pic and list the bb to saddle height.

72.5cm from BB to top of the saddle (170mm cranks).

For those with an AR1 and can compare with the F series? I currently have a Felt FC with Sram Red 22 but I'm trying to debate on an upgrade to the AR1 frameset. Since I live in PR can anyone comment how does it feel when climbing? Thanks

It's a good climbing bike, gives up very little in that regard.

SuperDave covered this before, but the extra weight won't really effect your climbing and the AR is certainly stiff. I love my F1, but would equally love an AR if I could afford it.
