The goal was simple. Create the fastest full suspension XC bike in the world.
Ambitious, sure. But what exactly does this mean? For Felt engineers, it meant throwing away all preconceived notions and starting from scratch. It meant designing an entirely new suspension system and frame that, together, would yield a specific set of performance characteristics determined by a team of athletes, engineers and product managers.
So what, specifically, were those desired performance traits? Generally speaking, speed, efficiency and agility. The Edict would have to be light and quick-handling to offer the competitive advantages that Felt's pro XC racers demand. It would also require the stable, neutral feel of a trail bike that inspires confidence in the midnight lap of a 24-hour race.
In short, the Edict was created to make you a better rider. And to make every ride more enjoyable.

@enigmaisbetter Solid Works is for companies too cheap to buy Pro/Engineer.

@Minami999 Not true, note where the rear triangle is symmetrical, and there's no active braking pivot. All I know is that so long as Felt is financing bike parks (see Decline), than Felt deserves a look when I am in the market.
