The Surplus 30 sells for $2199 and comes with a RockShox Reba 27.5+ fork, Race Face Affect crankset, and Shimano Deore 1x drivetrain and brakes. The Surplus 70 is priced at $1399 and features a SR Suntour Raidon 27.5+ fork and Shimano Deore 2×10 components.
“The larger contact patch created by wider tires used on 27.5+ bikes offers greater traction, increased stability and extra cushioning over rough and rocky terrain,” says Rob Pauley, Felt’s mountain bike product manager. Here’s a look at both bikes and complete spec. Click on the images to enlarge.
