{"product_id":"felt-breed-frd-frameset-6202","title":"Felt Breed FRD Frameset","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFelt Breed FRD Frameset\u003c\/strong\u003e puts Felt's flagship gravel race platform in your hands before a single component is chosen. The frame and fork are built from the same super-premium 12K carbon used in the complete FRD build — the highest material specification in the Breed lineup — and the Felt Gravel One-Piece Integrated Cockpit ships with the frameset at no additional cost. That matters: the aerodynamic front end, internal cable routing, and sub-300-gram cockpit weight are already part of the package before you pick a groupset or wheelset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAt 1920g for the complete frameset kit — frame, fork, integrated headset, and cockpit — the foundation is light before anything else goes on it. The Breed was developed as a purpose-built gravel racing platform, not an adaptation of a road or endurance design, and the geometry reflects that origin. The chainstay runs a consistent 430mm across all six sizes, keeping the handling tight and the rear end responsive regardless of frame size. Head tube angle progresses from 70° in the 49, 52, and 54cm frames to 71.5° in the 61cm, with the intervening sizes stepping through 70.5° and 71°. Stack grows from 522mm in the 49cm to 631mm in the 61cm; reach spans 365mm to 405mm across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eFelt's development of the current Breed generation produced a 10.5% drag reduction compared to the previous version, per Felt's own testing — a figure that shaped tube profiles, head tube integration, and the connection between cockpit and frame. The result is a front end that functions as a unified aerodynamic system rather than a collection of separate parts. For the builder, this means the cockpit decisions are already made: bar widths and stem lengths are size-matched from the factory, so fit planning should account for those dimensions from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eFRD 12K Carbon Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFrame and fork are built from Felt's top-tier 12K carbon — the same material specification that defines the complete FRD build. The complete frameset kit weighs 1920g, inclusive of the integrated cockpit. That's the starting weight for a custom build on the highest-spec Breed platform available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eFelt Gravel One-Piece Integrated Cockpit Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Felt Gravel One-Piece Integrated Cockpit ships with the frameset — it's not a separate purchase. It consolidates handlebar, stem, and internal cable routing into a single carbon unit under 300 grams, and the dimensions are matched to frame size. The 49 and 52cm frames come with 80mm stems and 36\/40cm bars; 54 and 56cm frames with 90mm stems and 38\/42cm bars; 58 and 61cm frames with 100mm stems and 40\/44cm bars. Riders building around specific fit numbers should verify these dimensions before purchase — swapping an integrated cockpit is a different process than replacing a standard bar and stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eRace-Focused Geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Breed's geometry was developed for modern gravel competition: a 430mm chainstay held constant across all sizes, head tube angles from 70° to 71.5° that scale steering feel as frame size grows, and a platform that prioritizes speed and handling over all-day comfort. Seat tube angles run from 75° in the 49 and 52cm to 74° in the 58 and 61cm, with BB drop ranging from 72mm to 77mm across the range. The same geometry anchors the complete FRD build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003e54mm Maximum Tire Clearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe frame accommodates tires up to 54mm wide. A builder targeting fast gravel roads might land on 38 or 40mm; someone building for rougher or looser terrain has clearance to run 50mm or beyond. The platform supports the full range of gravel racing use cases without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eBSA Threaded Bottom Bracket Shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe frame uses a standard threaded 68mm BSA bottom bracket shell. A bottom bracket is not included and must be sourced separately. The conventional threading makes compatibility straightforward — SRAM DUB BSA bottom brackets work with SRAM drivetrains, and threaded BSA options are available across all major groupset families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eFinal Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Breed FRD Frameset is the entry point into Felt's top-tier gravel race platform for riders who want to build on their own terms — whether that means carrying over an existing drivetrain and wheels, speccing something different from the stock FRD build, or starting fresh with a blank slate. At $4,099, it includes the FRD 12K carbon frame and fork, integrated headset, and the Felt Gravel One-Piece Integrated Cockpit. The bottom bracket, groupset, wheels, seatpost, and saddle are the builder's call. Available in six sizes from 49 to 61cm in FRD 12K Matte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Felt","offers":[{"title":"FRD 12k \/ Matte \/ 49cm","offer_id":45484864471084,"sku":"940260F547","price":4099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FRD 12k \/ Matte \/ 52cm","offer_id":45484864503852,"sku":"940260F551","price":4099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FRD 12k \/ Matte \/ 54cm","offer_id":45484864536620,"sku":"940260F554","price":4099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FRD 12k \/ Matte \/ 56cm","offer_id":45484864569388,"sku":"940260F556","price":4099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FRD 12k \/ Matte \/ 58cm","offer_id":45484864602156,"sku":"940260F558","price":4099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FRD 12k \/ Matte \/ 61cm","offer_id":45484864634924,"sku":"940260F561","price":4099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/FELT-BREED-FRD-FRAMESET-2026_20889415-deb6-4762-9692-38db12bd9852.jpg?v=1777068409","url":"https:\/\/racycles.com\/pt\/products\/felt-breed-frd-frameset-6202","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
