Overview
About this bike
Felt's Compulsion 50 smooths out the rowdy trails and leaves you smiling. Its amazingly light, strong, butted aluminum frame boasts 150mm of Felt's efficient Equilink suspension matched to a RockShox shock to tackle big hits with ease while isolating pedaling forces. Up front, the 160mm-travel Suntour fork offers just as much control as you pin the turns. Sturdy WTB rims and grippy Schwalbe tires lock the Compulsion on your line, a snappy 2x10-speed Shimano Deore/XT drivetrain bangs off gear changes, and a sweet KS dropper post keeps you in attack mode up and down. Plus, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes are at the ready should you ever want to slow down.
