Versatile, Stylish and Reliable Gravel Adventure Bike
Who says that you can’t have your cake and eat it, too? Meet the Broam, Felt's most capable road bike ever. It’s an all-purpose, drop-bar beast that’s equally at home on pavement, dirt trails, and gravel roads. Dual-wheel compatibility? Check. Mounts for racks and fenders? Check. A comfortable ride quality for all-day pedalling? Check. For as long as people have been riding bikes, there have been people riding bikes over long distances, travelling across the land, and experiencing the unique perspective that only pedalling can provide. That long-heralded mystique thrives in the Broam. It’s everything you want in a road bike, and then some. Just make sure to bring along your sense of adventure.
Multi-Wheel-Size Compatibility and Wide Tyre Clearance
Different wheel sizes give you the freedom to run whatever size or type of tyre you wish. That’s why we made the Broam compatible with both 650b and 700c wheel sizes. The Broam comes standard with 700c hoops, the traditional size for road bikes. They can accommodate up to 45mm-wide tyres, giving you the versatility to select your optimal rubber for whatever route you have in mind. If you opt to switch out your stock wheels for a set of 650 alternatives, you can fit tyres that are up to 2.1 inches wide.
Ideal for Touring, Bikepacking and Gravel Racing
Long days in the saddle—and especially multi-day tours through parts unknown will require extra supplies. The Broam features a mounting location along the top tube for installing a “bento box” storage bag. The Broam also comes with a fender hardware kit in order to mount the majority of rain-combatting options on the market. It also features cleverly hidden rack mounts for both utility and sleek aesthetics. Simple integration means that when it’s time to ditch the baggage and race your buddies along the pavement or gravel, the Broam is ready—like a superhero shedding its street clothes to speed off and save the day.
Disc Brake and Thru-Axle Equipped All-Terrain Performance
Disc brakes are the new standard for drop-handlebar bikes in all riding conditions. They provide more stopping power, greater modulation, and more consistent performance than rim brakes, especially when the weather turns nasty. Complementing the Broam’s disc brakes are 12mm thru-axles, which provide a more secure interface over traditional quick-release skewers, along with better stiffness for quicker acceleration, better handling, and crisper shifting. Maximum control over any terrain, all day long. That’s what the Broam is about.
