The 2015 F65X bicycle has a satin black aluminium frame with ‘Felt’ printed in white letters and a diagonal wide white stripe next to a thin white stripe on the frame.
The 2015 F85X bicycle has a dark red berry coloured aluminium frame with diagonal stripes in black, mint green and yellow on the frame. Here, the Felt logo is printed on the bike frame and the model number is printed on the chainstay of the bicycle frame.
