Old name for a completely new time trial bike from FeltIf Garmin-Transitions rider Dave Zabriskie is able to keep his lead through Saturday’s individual time trial is will be at least in part to his new 2011 Felt DA time trial bike, which is said to be 14-percent faster aerodynamically and 13-percent stiffer than the current version.First and foremost, Felt wanted the new DA to be faster aerodynamically than the previous and it claims it is, by 14-percent. The Garmin-Transitions team wanted them to make it stiffer and it is, by a claimed 13-percent. The final performance goal was to keep the bike’s weight as low as possible, and again, they believe they have; the new frame has 25-percent more surface area than the previous version, but only 2-percent heavier.Felt Bicycles recalls road bikes due to aluminum steerer tube failures
