Fast and predictable, the Edict Nine 3 is built from the inside out with Felt's UHC Performance carbon fiber. Felt's proprietary FAST suspension and 100mm of RockShox suspension make for a smooth and responsive ride. SRAM components deliver crisp shifting and the Avid Elixir brakes provide precise stopping. Full suspension meets 29er—the Edict Nine 3 is the ultimate XC race bike

The goal was simple: Create the fastest full-suspension XC bike in the world. It took several years, much experimenting and many different prototypes to achieve this goal, but the Edict Nine has arrived for 2013.

Designed to burn up World Cup courses and tame the most rugged, grueling marathon XC courses, the all new Edict Nine Series brings a new level of refined Felt performance to the gritty, unpredictable world of off-road riding and racing. Incorporating Felt Active Stay Technology (“FAST”) suspension and the efficiency and stability of 29” wheels, the carbon fiber Edict Nine is the next generation of XC racing.

To meet the lofty standards established for the Edict Nine, Felt adapted the proprietary FAST suspension system to the geometry of a 29” frame. FAST offers 100 millimeters (4”) of smooth, predictable travel and delivers unequaled suspension performance in a lightweight, race-ready package. Of course, adapting FAST to different geometry is a task in itself. Engineers carefully tweaked geometry and tube shapes to ensure an ideal union between the suspension performance and the frame.
