Triathlon bikes average price
According to our calculations, the average cost of a Triathlon bike that is reliable is 4177$. However, even though the average price of a Triathlon bike is lower, you might still be able to get a top-quality bike. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read reviews about the bike and its components before buying it to ensure you don’t pay too much.
At the moment of the release date, Felt DA2 price was 8999$. In conclusion, this bike price is 115.44% higher than the price of the average Triathlon bike.
Triathlon bikes average weight
Triathlon bikes weigh an average of 8.9 kg (19.62 lbs). A lighter bike will give you some extra advantage when climbing. A heavier bike will have more speed for descents.
Weighing 8.25 kg (18.19 lbs), the DA2 model is a bit lighter than average. To sum up, it’s 7.88% lighter than the average weight of Triathlon bikes.
Internal Cable Routing
This bike has an internal cable routing. As a result, this helps to preserve the bike’s cables. No more cables around your bike.
Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of carbon, so, it won’t add up to much weight to your bike. However, the price you have to pay for a carbon fork is considerably higher.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the DA2 model has carbon wheels. The 650c wheels are smaller in diameter than 700c. However, 650c wheels have better acceleration, and can climb easier than 700c.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt DA2 has Rim brakes installed. Rim brakes are cheaper than hydraulic brakes, and also easier to maintain. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.
