Using UHC Ultimate plus Nano mix, the Edict LTD will be nicely kitted with a Fox 32 F100 FIT Remote fork and RP23 Boost Valve rear shock.

Offering a full XTR bike, the Virtue line has an added LTD model.

Another impressive offer of the 2012 Felt Mountain Bikes Nine lineup is an alloy race bike called Race. The Race weighs approximately 11kg.
