Felt S32 best entry level tri bike? what are some other comparable bikes?

i have seen around that the felt s32 is the best entry tri bike around? do you guys and girls agree? is there any bike comparable to it $ vs. performance? do any of you have the new one? im thinking about one for christmas :slight_smile: thanks for your feedback

It could be, and it depends on whether you mean the 2006 version or the improved 2007 version.

the new 2007 with ultegra/105 and a wheel cutout
.

That’s the problem… Those are the differences people see and compare and talk about.

Those are not the real, tangible differences though. Those changes won’t make it a different bike, just a different *looking *bike.

The real improvements in the 2007 Felt S32 are:
Higher head tube, only 1cm higher, but that is a nicer design than last year. Most entry level riders need to think about being higher rather than lower. Steeper… or shallower, There is a new two position seat post that enables you to go to 77.9 degrees on the frame and steeper on the saddle center.
Those things will make a tangible difference in the bike’s performance.

im just getting into tris. im doing a couple sprints next year and will probably move on form there so do those factors make a big difference?

One interesting thing about the 2007 Felts— The B2, DA, S32, S22 all have the same geometry. That should make things more straightforward from a fitting perspective.
