All you gravel lovers out there now have another choice to get your fix! Picking up where their single speed CX bikes left off in terms of the name, the Breed lineup from Felt is now designed for gravel roads, long bikepacking hauls, and everything between. The group consists of the Breed 20 and 30 each built for versatility in wheel selection and packing methods.
