Ryf has selected a SRAM RED eTAP wireless electronic drivetrain for her title defense in Kona this year. The large black box on the rear derailleur is a rechargeable battery. Photo: Correy HolisterDaniela Ryf's Felt IA FRD
Ryf’s Felt is equipped with a Zipp carbon fiber cockpit outfitted with an XLAB Torpedo between-the-arms (BTA) hydration system, allowing easy access to hydration from the aero position. Photo: Correy HolisterDaniela Ryf's Felt IA FRD
The custom paint on Ryf’s Felt is inspired by her nickname “Angry Bird”, which was given to her by her coach Brett Sutton. Photo: Correy HolisterDaniela Ryf's Felt IA FRD
In addition to her BTA hydration, Ryf will race with a standard bottle mounted on her seat tube, and a top tube box for easy access to nutrition. Photo: Correy HolisterDaniela Ryf's Felt IA FRD
The front end of the Felt IA FRD is very well integrated. The stem, head tube, and fork are all cleanly incorporated into a single unit, and the front brake caliper is nicely hidden in the front fork away from the wind. Photo: Correy HolisterDaniela Ryf's Felt IA FRD
LOOK Keo Carbon Blade pedals and a SRAM Red crankset with aero chainrings provide excellent stiffness and will transfer all of Ryf’s power into propelling her through Kona’s iconic lava fields.
