Race bikes average price
If you want to purchase a solid Race bike, it is important to know that the average cost is 3350$. However, paying less money than this amount doesn’t mean that you couldn’t get a great Race bike. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read reviews about the bike and its components before buying it to ensure you don’t pay too much.
Furthermore, if we have a quick look at this model’s cost, we can see that at its release date the price was 4999$. In conclusion, this bike price is 49.22% more expensive than the price of the average Race bike.
Race bikes average weight
If we make a quick analysis of the average weight of a Race bike, we get 6.82 kg (15.04 lbs). You will have a greater advantage on climbs if your bike is easier than the average. On descents, however, a heavier bike will give you extra speed.

F2 SL components
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has a carbon one, 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
As for the wheels, Felt F2 SL 2009, has a 700c aluminum model. There is no doubt, that 700c wheels are very popular on all road bike models. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt F2 SL 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.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
