The frame of the F85 is built from 7005 Superlite butted smooth welded aluminium tubing which is custom-shaped and butted to maximize strength, minimize weight and deliver optimal ride quality. It has twin bottle cage mounts, a traditional threaded bottom bracket shell, a tapered headtube housing a tapered steerer carbon fork a band-on front derailleur fitting. It uses a replaceable forged aluminium rear mech hanger which should save your frame from damage if the rear derailleur takes a knock. The

The F85 is fitted with a mix of Shimano's trusted 10 speed 105 groupset and Microshift's reliable componentry and offers a good balance between performance and value. You get Microshift integrated shift and brake levers, Microshift front derailleur and a rear derailleur from Shimano's 105 group. The brakes are dual pivot calipers and the compact chainset is the popular FSA Vero model which helps with climbing duties.

The F85 rolls on some nice wheels too which is often somewhere a brand might skimp to save some pennies. Forged aluminium hubs with sealed bearings throughout are laced with stainless spokes onto Mavic's popular and lightweight CXP-22n rims. You can get lighter, fancier wheels with far more exotic materials but durability and quality are good here and the machined rim side-walls mean braking performance is consistent too.

Finishing kit is predominantly Felt branded to keep the price sharp and with alloy bar, stem and a carbon seatpost these are perfectly suitable and look well matched to the bike overall. The tyres are from Vittoria which is a nice inclusion at this price.

The F85 is well built throughout and delivers a good level of performance meaning it'll be on many people's short list as a road bike to upgrade to. If you want to see what other customers thought check the reviews on this page.
