Quote from 78StayUpLate :
Performance vs endurance.. it wasn't that long ago when the endurance models topped out at 28mm and the performance model would have 23mm or 25mm tires. So, this AR model in terms of tire width is the same as the endurance models five years ago. If you are riding on pavement and not gravel, 28mm is a good tire width regardless of whether the bike is marketed for performance or endurance.

What separates endurance from performance is more the geometry of the bike overall.. performance tends to have a shorter head tube which means your handlebars are lower and your overall position is more aggressive (comfortable if riding hard not not as comfortable for riding more leisurely.. the endurance puts you in a more upright position). Endurance usually has longer chainstays, a bit more give in the tubing to increase comfort, less aggressive seat tube and head tube angles, possibly a wider saddle.

As a beginner, I'd try to find an endurance model unless you plan to race and ride in a paceline with a group. But I wouldn't focus too much on tire width unless you need a wide width for really bad roads and gravel (in which case, get a gravel bike).
so this is not an endurance model for beginner? I'm a noob and putting around 400 miles/month with my hybrid/exercise bike. I want to do more serious riding and been thinking hard about getting this bike....

This is not an endurance model, no. I was just describing the differences.

A beginner can use an endurance or performance model, granted they know how they want to use the bike and it's a good fit for your riding style. If you plan to do more spirited riding, primarily want to use it to ride hard and exercise, then a performance model can be great (even for a beginner). But if you don't really know what you want, then an endurance model is a safer bet.

You can ride long distances with either. The endurance model is just going to put you a bit more upright which some people prefer. Both will probably get you close to the same position but the performance bike will have more spacers below the stem (which is fine, that's just aesthetics anyway). I'd highly encourage you to go to some local shops and test ride both performance and endurance road bikes (doesn't need to be the same brand) and see if you have a noticeable preference.​

Does it come partially assembled or do you need to get it assembled at a shop?

Unless you are a competent mechanic, I don't recommend buying a bike online. The shop fees from assembly to ongoing adjustments and possible warranty issues will eat up much of the online savings. Plus, your local shop may have some good deals this time of year on professionally assembled bikes with free maintenance for a time.

Unless you are a competent bike fitter, or know exactly what size/geometry you want from previous bikes you've owned, I don't recommend buying a bike online. Being able to test ride different bikes in different sizes and get the shop professional's opinion can make the difference between buying a bike you love to ride and one that you hate.

Fair point. I have mostly bought from shops in the past, so might try and snag the higher tier model locally. Looks like they released a new model with internal cable routing for this year, so probably why they are discounting so heavily.

Thanks OP. Great deal. Purchased and bike on the way. Local bike shops want between $100-$175 to assemble which isn't bad. Need to have local bike shop do final assembly to maintain Felt warranty per Wheel & Sprocket.

Per the site, the bike comes ~80% assembled. It also recommends having a professional bike shop finish the assembly to maintain warranty with Felt as they may request your purchase invoice and bike assembly invoice upon service requests.

I have local bike shops that start at $100. REI is available nationally and is staying $125 near my location to assemble for members.

Please explain to non bikers what do you mean by this ? Thnx
I am VERY new to this, but it's referring to the clearance for the tire width. This bike frame only allows up to a 28mm wide tire. Apread is indicating they'd want a wider tire and that this bike's 28mm limit is a drawback.

Bike is amazing. If you're on the fence, just do it. Received mine via UPS 2 days from ordering and REI had it up and running within 1 day. They setup the electronic shifters and Di2 system. Took it for a ride and set multiple PRs right away.

I've been eyeing the VR Advanced 105 Di2 for $2k from the same site to upgrade my 2011 Roubaix Apex mechanical that I bought used 2 yrs ago. I've already ridden it 4,500 miles and completed a double century this year. The VR seems like an amazing deal to try Di2.

There is nothing wrong with your eye sight if that is the bike you are eyeing. I cannot currently find a better road bike deal than the 105 AR. Wheel and Sprocket just lowered the price from the original sale offering as well to sub $2K. It was around $2300 if I remember correctly. They must have more of that model in stock or something. Of concern is that Wheel and Sprocket is not responding to their website chat and Felt is taking their sweet time in responding to my inquiry about warranty requirements regarding initial build. Regardless, this AR 105 Di2 deal is better than the bike posted by the OP but more of an endurance bike than race bike.

Sounds great!
May I ask what is the reach of the Devox Carbon handlebar the bike comes with? I have asked W&S but they said they don't have that detailed info. On the other hand, I received no response from the Felt's customer service either. So, I thought I could ask you as you received and set up the bike already.
Thanks in advance.
