Felt Bicycles and Shelby Licensing have teamed up to design and develop the Shelby Cruiser, a limited-edition bicycle that pays homage to the Shelby image.
Working hand-in-hand with the Shelby American team, Felt designers drew upon the wealth of Shelby racing traditions when developing the design and graphics. The bike features the legendary Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue paint scheme that adorned many of Shelby’s vintage cars, including the GT350.
“Felt Bicycles is a world renowned competition and high-performance bicycle manufacturer and designer,” noted Tracey Smith, vice president of Carroll Shelby Licensing. “The team at Felt understands the passion that drives many Shelby enthusiasts, which is similar to the spirit of competition in many Felt bike owners. Now enthusiasts can take their love of Shelbys to the bike trails, streets, and beach boardwalks.”
The Shelby bike is built around Felt’s hydro-formed aluminum tank frame and fitted with three-speed Nexus internal gearing. It rolls on 36-spoke wheels wrapped with “blue dot” tires to resemble automotive racing tires, and a proprietary linkage-designed springer fork affords fast and precise handling.
Each of the Shelby bicycles is individually badged and serial numbered to ensure authenticity. Retailing for $999, the Shelby Cruiser is available through Felt Bicycles and its retailers.
