Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this frame has a carbon one, so, it’s a great addition to the frame’s value. However, carbon forks should be regularly inspected for damage because even the smallest crack could cause the fork to fall apart.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Felt DA Ultimate Frame is equipped with Rim brakes. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they have problems in wet conditions.
