Brand New Carbon Fiber Felt Compulsion 170mm rear and 180mm Lyrik on the front

This one is something special. It’s the most beautiful, high-tech machine I’ve ever laid my hands on. The frame is all carbon fiber from front to back made with a special “inside-out” manufacturing technique. The rear suspension has the unique Equi-Link design that delivers a ride like no other bike. The 170mm of rear suspension pedals like a racer and mates up perfectly with the 180mm Lyrik fork. This is a bike that won’t hold you back and will plant you on the top step of the podium if you do your part. It comes with everything except pedals and is ready to rock your world. It’s a size large. I’m 6’3 and the bike is set up for me in the photos. Here’s some copy from a test of a similar bike. Felt took its time designing the new Compulsion, with an updated geometry and frame design to suit the modern rider. Compared to the previous version, the Compulsion now uses a full carbon fiber frame and rear triangle with Felts proprietary UHC Advanced layup and MMC InsideOut construction. The InsideOut construction ensures there are no stray fibers inside of the frame to save weight and deliver cleaner tubing. With the high-quality tubing design, Felt uses full internal cable routing and a threaded bottom bracket with ISCG05 tabs to allow riders to run a chainguide. While Shimano hasnt given up on front derailleurs, the Compulsion is 1x-specific to allow for shorter chainstays and more tire clearance. The Compulsion uses Felts proprietary Equilink six-bar suspension design that has characteristics similar to a four-bar linkage but with better pedaling support. The Equilink has an extra link that connects the top and bottom rockers for a little more pedaling support while not compromising the bikes descending abilities. To keep the weight down, Felt uses carbon fiber links with a trunnion-mounted Fox shock. The trunnion mount allowed Felt to use a slightly longer shock to reduce the leverage ratio and increase traction. Compared to the previous Compulsion, Felt slackened the head angle a full degree and steepened the seat tube a touch, along with pushing out the reach. The rear triangle uses Boost spacing to help shorten the chainstays and allow for clearance to run up to 2.6-inch-wide tires on 27.5-inch wheels. Swinging a leg over the Compulsion, the reach is a touch conservative compared to other modern enduro bikes. The stock cockpit felt comfortable, though, with the short 50mm stem and ultra-wide 800mm bars. Some of our test riders did prefer a slightly narrower set of bars. The WTB Volt saddle was comfortable and suited most of our test riders, even during longer rides. Setting our tire pressures, we opted for a little less air pressure than we would normally run in a 2.4- or 2.5-inch tire. Up front, we ran about 1820 psi, depending on the trails, with about 2021 psi in the rear. With 170mm of suspension, the Compulsion is a long-travel bike; however, thanks to some clever engineering work with the Equilink suspension platform, the bike pedals fast and efficiently. The suspension exhibits noticeable anti-squat characteristics, even with the shock in the open setting. Out of the saddle the frame is stiff, with the massive, overbuilt downtube responding to every pedal stroke. While the wider 2.6-inch tires arent the lightest you can get, they do offer a substantial amount of traction at a minimal weight penalty. Hitting steep sections of trail, the rear DHF tire clung to loose dirt, rocks and roots effortlessly, giving us all the traction we could ask for. The Compulsion is designed to rip down the mountain and do it with as much style and stability as possible. Hitting singletrack, the Compulsion felt lively and was easy to whip around and control while not feeling overly zealous when hitting technical lines. While the Equilink sits higher in the travel, the Compulsion has plenty of mid-stroke support with a comfortable amount of ramp at the bottom of the stroke. At high speeds, the rear end tracked terrain confidently and soaked up big hits without a second thought. The Compulsion is a very lively and playful bike that is easy to lean over in corners and through flow trails and berms. Riding through tight switchbacks, the more relaxed position allowed us to sit up more to comfortably maneuver the bike at slow speeds. The modern Compulsion is a seriously capable bike that doesnt shy away from technical lines or rowdy riding. Overall, the bike is an exceptionally good climber and doesnt compromise when the trail points downward. If you want a bike that is capable of ripping technical trails and hitting some jump lines at your local bike park, the Compulsion will do it. This is a nice bike (understatement) so don’t waste time with any low-ball offers. It’s all new; it’s beautiful; and it’s ready to be your new best lover.
