Description
The Felt Ia Advanced 105 RIM Brake TT Bike is a purpose-built Time trial machine, engineered from the ground up for athletes who take their race splits seriously. Whether you're lining up at an Ironman, a local triathlon in Pune, or a time trial stage in Delhi, this is a complete platform — not a road bike with clip-on bars bolted on.
Use Cases
Daily training. Durable rim and reliable hub bearings for repeat training use.
Race day. Aerodynamic depth and weight-optimised construction for competitive efforts.
All-rounder. Versatile depth and width for road, gravel, or all-road riding.
Our Take
Felt's Ia series has long been a benchmark in triathlon and TT racing, and the Advanced 105 build brings serious aero performance to a more accessible price point. For Indian triathletes targeting events in Hyderabad, Chennai, or competing internationally, the rim brake setup demands confidence in consistent braking, but rewards you with a cleaner, lighter front end optimised for aerodynamic efficiency. At Rs. 3,09,990, this is a committed investment in race-day speed.
Sizing for Indian Riders
TT bike fit is far more exacting than a standard road bike. Indian riders tend to have proportionally shorter torsos relative to leg length — confirm this against Felt's geometry chart before ordering. In hot conditions above 35°C common in Chennai or Ahmedabad, a slightly more upright TT position reduces fatigue on longer race legs. Professional bike fit is not optional here; it is essential.
Compatibility Notes
This bike runs rim brakes — check that your chosen race wheels are rim-brake compatible. Shimano 105 groupset components are widely serviceable across India's major cities. Pedals are not included; pair with your preferred cleat system (SPD-SL or Look Keo). First service is recommended within the first 100km of riding.
Pairs Well With
Complete your TT setup with a well-fitted aero helmet, a pair of clipless pedals matched to your shoes, a race-specific saddle suited to a forward TT position, and a track pump for tyre pressure management before every session. Available with free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500 and COD across India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Felt Ia Advanced 105 best used for?
This bike is built specifically for time trial and triathlon racing. It is ideal for Indian athletes competing in Ironman-distance events, local Olympic-distance triathlons, or standalone TT stages. It is not suited to general road riding or commuting — the aggressive aero position and TT geometry are designed purely for race-day performance on closed or traffic-managed courses.
How does Felt TT bike sizing work for Indian riders?
Felt sizes the Ia by seat tube length. Indian riders often have longer legs relative to torso length, so reach and stack measurements are critical alongside frame size. If you fall between sizes, factor in your target race distance — longer triathlons generally suit a size up for sustained comfort. A professional bike fit in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, or Delhi is strongly recommended before purchase.
Will rim brakes perform adequately in Indian monsoon and heat conditions?
Rim brakes lose significant stopping power on wet carbon rims — this is a genuine concern during monsoon season in Mumbai, Pune, or Kolkata. This bike is best ridden in dry race-day conditions. For training in the wet, exercise caution, allow longer braking distances, and keep rim surfaces and brake pads clean. In 35°C+ heat, rim brakes are not affected by temperature the way disc rotors can be.
How does the Felt Ia Advanced 105 compare to a standard road bike for triathlon?
A dedicated TT bike like the Felt Ia offers a purpose-built aero frame geometry, integrated cockpit, and forward-position optimisation that a road bike with clip-on aerobars cannot replicate. For serious triathlon competition the efficiency gains over long bike legs are meaningful. However, a road bike remains more versatile for training, climbing routes like Lonavala or Coorg, and everyday riding.
Is the Felt Ia Advanced 105 worth Rs. 3,09,990 in India, and what warranty applies?
For a competitive triathlete or time trialist, the Ia Advanced 105 delivers a race-proven carbon frame with a reliable Shimano 105 drivetrain at a price that represents genuine value against comparable aero TT platforms. Felt typically offers a multi-year frame warranty; components are covered under Shimano's standard warranty. Cobbled Climbs manages warranty claims directly, and COD is available across India.
