The new BREED, a next generation gravel racing bike developed for riders who line up to compete, not just explore. Designed and engineered at FELT’s headquarters in Barcelona, the New BREED represents a clear evolution of the brand’s performance DNA, bringing together aerodynamics, weight optimization, and race-focused geometry into a single, purpose-built platform.
BREED is built for modern gravel racing, where speeds are higher, terrain is more demanding, and performance depends on the ability so stay fast when conditions change.
A Platform Designed for gravel racing
Gravel racing has evolved. What once started as endurance riding on mixed terrain has become a discipline defined by intensity, tactics, and sustained speed over long distances.
The BREED is FELT’s answer to that evolution. Developed as a complete system, the platform integrates aerodynamic efficiency, low weight, and refined geometry, delivering a bike that feels fast, controlled, and responsive across changing terrain and long race scenarios.
This approach reflects FELT’s core philosophy: performance is not defined by a single factor, but by how every element works together under real-world conditions.
Performance Gains where they matter
The New BREED delivers measurable improvements across the three key dimensions of gravel performance:
- Aerodynamics: a 10.5% reduction in drag, achieved through a redesigned frame, fork, and integrated cockpit optimized for gravel-specific conditions and wider tires
- Weight: a 950g frame (size 54) and a total build weight of just 7.037 kg on the BREED FRD model, representing a 22.8% reduction compared to the previous generation.
- Fit & Geometry: a race-inspired geometry combining high-speed stability with precise handling, ensuring riders can maintain position, control, and efficieny deep into demanding efforts. .
Rather than chasing performance in isolation, the BREED focuses on what matters most: delivering speed that can be sustained over time, across unpredictable terrain.
Built for real gravel conditions
Beyond pure performance metrics, the New BREED is engineered for versatility and real-world race demands.
The platform accommodates up to 54 mm tires in the front and 52 mm in the rear, allowing riders to adapt to different race conditions without compromising speed or control.
It also supports multiple configurations, including:
- Up to four bottle mounts for long-distance autonomy
- Compatibility with suspension gravel forks
- Dropper seatpost integration for technical terrain
Each frame size is individually engineered to maintain consistent handling and fit across the range, ensuring every rider benefits from the same race-ready performance.
A complete lineup for every level of competition
The BREED lineup includes four complete builds and one Framekit FRD option, all developed around the same performance platform:
- FRD & PRO: Built with FELT’s 12k carbon for maximum efficiency, low weight, and elite-level racing performance
- EXPERT & RACE: Featuring a durable carbon construction while maintaining the same geometry and core ride characteristics
- FRD Framekit: A pure platform for riders looking to build their own race machine
All models are equipped with SRAM drivetrains and are designed to deliver consistent performance across different levels of competition.
A legacy that defined the category
The original BREED already played a key role in shaping modern gravel racing, introducing features that later became category standards, from increased tire clearance to race-focused geometry and integrated solutions for long-distance racing.
That legacy has been proven at the highest level, with podium finishes across major international gravel races.
The New BREED builds on that foundation, not by following trends, but by refining what truly makes a gravel race bike fast.
This is the new BREED.
GRAVEL AS YOU’VE NEVER FELT.
