Product Description

Our most popular road bike now with two color options. Whether you are riding a century, doing a triathlon, or racing, it has the responsiveness and suppleness that sets it apart from anything you've ridden before. Take for instance the state of the art proprietary Fezzari Racing Design Xr6 monocoque carbon fiber frame, new on the CR3 for 2012. We made the frame even stiffer laterally by enlarging the bottom bracket shell utilizing our ContinuousDispersal Box Technology and adding the BB30 bottom bracket/crank design, strengthening the headtube and making it more laterally stiff by enlarging the diameter to a 1.5" tapered design. We've also enlarged the seatstays near the rear axle for more lateral rigidity. We made the Xr6 frame even more vertically compliant than before for those rides on the cobblestones and rough rodes. We've done this by using an oval design in our top tube and down tube. The new Xr6 frame is even more aerodynamic than before with the new F4 Xrt tapered ultralight bladed carbon fork and internal cable routing on the top tube. All this translates into exhilaration when you’re climbing – knowing that you’re ascending more efficiently – and confidence on the downhill when you take that corner at high speeds. The Foré CR3 comes with Shimano Dura Ace and Ultegra components (brakes, shifters, etc.), FSA carbon crank with external bearings, titanium saddle rails, carbon seat post, and carbon handlebars.

Strengths:    I have not had to take it in for any maintenance and I have put ALOT of miles on this bike.

Weaknesses:    NONE

Bottom Line:   
I have the 2010 CR3 Fezzari road bike and have had it for a couple of months. I have loved every thing about this bike. It shifts smooth and rides even smoother. I ride more triathlons then road races but it has been great for all types of my races. It is supper lite weight so i can put it on my roof race by myself.

Strengths:    Very fast, light but very responsive and beautiful art work. I like it so much I have 2

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
Steel is always real. I have ridden, a lot of different bikes, From Scandium, alloy, 6/4 titanium and carbon fiber. But this one is very special. 953 still kept the legendary ride of steel, but light weight and corrosion free and high impact resistance. Very responsive, every pedal strokes goes to the rear wheel. check it out at rikulau.com

Date Reviewed: October 4, 2008

Strengths:    Fezzari's attention to detail is second to none. The fit and finish of the bike is beautiful. I really like Fezzari's custom fit program. They dialed in the fit of the bike exactly for me. Hill climbing is amazing. I'm running a compact 50/34 on the front and I haven't found a hill that I can't climb. What a big change from my previous 52/39 chainring combo!

Weaknesses:    Absolutely none.

Bottom Line:   
I have put several thousand miles on the Fezzari Forte CR3 now and it is by far the best bike I have ever owned. I absolutely love it. It's tight, corners like it's on rails, and very stiff laterally in hill climbing. My only problem is I wish I would have found Fezzari sooner. I've spent way to much money on 2 other inferior bikes that I paid more money for. I'm glad for Ebay. I can't believe the level of components you get on this. I was a little worried about the FSA SLK carbon cranks that come on the bike because I've always loved my Shimano cranks, but I love this crank. It's smooth, light, and bullet-proof.

Strengths:    Frame is great. I love the new Ultegra shifters. Carbon bars are really nice.

Weaknesses:    None so far.

Bottom Line:   
I was concerned about buying something that I hadn't seen in person, especially a bike like this. But the folks at Fezzari did a great job of custom sizing. It has Ultegra and Dura Ace components, but the best part is the frame. Totally took away the road chatter. I've shaved 8 minutes off of my favorite ride.

Strengths:    Weight and response

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
I've only just got this bike but it is total quality. I had it shipped to the midle east where I live and it was worth the wait. It is outragously light and responsive and makes my old Giant TCR Once feel like a dinosaur. The components are fantastic and the ultegra wheelset is excellent.
