Felt Nexar Race Shimano 105 Di2 - Glossy Black

NEXAR competes at the highest level of CdA while deliberately balancing three defining pillars: AERO, WEIGHT, and FIT. Not maximized in a single dimension, but precisely optimized across all three: exactly how much to push AERO, how far to reduce WEIGHT and how to refine FIT. This is what makes NEXAR a new kind of aero bike. The fastest FELT we have ever built, engineered for real riders, real conditions and real speed. This is NEXAR. Aero as you have never FELT.

UD carbon is our benchmark layup, developed to perform at the highest level for every rider.

FELT is not new to aerodynamics. For over three decades we have pushed the limits of CFD modeling, wind tunnel validation, and carbon engineering to build faster bikes. NEXAR is the fastest and lightest aero road bike we have ever made. Referring to the pioneering AR model first introduced eighteen years ago, NEXAR is the Next-AR, marking the next chapter for FELT in full aerodynamic performance. The name NEXAR fuses Next and AR.

NEXAR represents a new era for FELT, where aero no longer means compromise. Where an aero bike is designed not just for the strongest 1% of racers but engineered to work for the 99% of performers on the market.

The three pillars of speed

AERO — NEXAR is one of the fastest full-aero bikes on the market. At 40 km/h it stands within 4 watts of the fastest competitor, while reducing drag by 5% over the previous FELT AR.

WEIGHT — NEXAR weighs a benchmarking 6.48 kg in FRD spec, size 54. At 800 g, its frame is the lightest of the full-aero category. This Race build with Shimano 105 Di2 weighs 7.963 kg (Size M).

FIT — NEXAR adopts modern aero geometry based on a slightly higher stack, shorter reach, shorter cranks, 7 frame sizes and our own ultralight one-piece cockpit (300 g or less). This allows performance riders of all levels and all sizes to hold speed in real-world conditions. Every frame size is engineered to work optimally with crank lengths from 165 mm to 170 mm, for equal biomechanics and equal performance for all riders.

Geometry — fit for real riders

The geometry was developed using data from thousands of rider positions and input from international bike fitters, with the goal of creating a bike that works not only in the wind tunnel but for the vast majority of real-world riders. A higher frame stack and shorter reach improve posture, while a steeper seat tube angle supports an efficient power position over the bottom bracket. Stack is 19 mm higher in Size M than the previous AR, for a cleaner, stiffer front end with up to 20 mm fewer spacers needed.
