The all-new 2010 Fezzari Foré CR3. Whether you are cross-country riding, doing a triathlon, or racing, it has the responsiveness and suppleness that sets it apart from anything you've ridden before.

Start with a proprietary Fezzari Racing Design XR5 3K monocoque carbon frame that was recently tested as one of the most durable frames on the market. We have enlarged the bottom bracket shell to make it even stiffer laterally but we increased vertical flex make it a more supple ride. Basically, it feels like it's on rails in the corners. And it weighs only 900 grams.

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. Our proprietrary frame painting process allows the frame to have a transparent finish.

The Foré CR3 comes with Shimano Dura Ace and Ultegra components (including wheelset, brakes, shifters, etc.), FSA carbon crank with external bearings, titanium/carbon saddle, carbon seat post, AND carbon handlebars.

You get the following upgrades over the CR2:

  1. Upgraded Rear Derailleur – you go one step up on Shimano’s derailleurs to 7900 Dura Ace (the top of the line) from Shimano Ultegra. It will shift a little smoother and is a little lighter.
  2. Upgraded Front Fork – Lighter, stiffer.
  3. Upgraded Crankset – from FSA Gossamer to FSA SLK Light, which has carbon crankarms that are lighter. The bottom bracket set is a little lighter and refined, too.
  4. Upgraded Chainrings – from FSA Gossamer to FSA SLK, which are lighter.
  5. Upgraded Handlebars – from aluminum bars to FSA K-Force shallow drop full carbon bars
  6. Upgraded Wheelset – from Shimano RS10 to Mavic Ksyrium Equipe, which are lighter and roll quicker.
When you get a Foré CR3, we custom fit it for you through our 23-Point Custom Setup program. We’ll get all your vitals so we can outfit your bike to fit you perfectly.

  Warranty for life means just that!!

Had a warranty issue with my frame. The boys at fezzari replaced with no quibbles and were a pleasure to deal with. Shipped to the uk and even got me a great price on a new 53t K force light crank (I thought the bike was quick before!!). Do not hesitate to deal with these guys. They are fantastic. Just wish I could meet them in person to let them know how pleased I am!

  An Excellent Product......

I was hesitant to buy a bike by mail-order. Fezzari people, did what I asked them to do and a little bit more. I did buy a CR3 in November, 2008. The bike arrived in good shape. So far I have put on a round 1000 miles. It is a great bike in every aspects. It is light, well-designed, and equipped with reliable, proven components. Thanks to CR3, I just did my first Century at age 63!



  Fantastic bike - Great price
by Golden Murray (Utah)

I bought the very first 2009 CR3 with the new white/carbon/red paint scheme! It looks fantastic and is such a great deal for the quality of components that you get. The guys at the shop were really great to work with too. I am riding much stronger that I was on my old aluminum bike for not much more money. The bike performs great - it's solid in corners and extremely responsive when you stand up on it and sprint.



  Amazing!!!

I bought this bike for a cross-country bike tour this summer, and training with this bike has been such a joy! It makes everything so much easier!! it is incredibly light and it looks so amazing!!



  The Most Bike for The Buck
by Kenny (Midland Georgia (USA))

I couldn't be more satisfied, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical up to the inital ride; after the first ride I'm convinced that the Forte CR3 is everything and more than described.



  Perfect bike
by Carl Bates (United Kingdom)

I bought my CR3 a year ago. It has been an absolute revelation! The bike is ridiculously quick and light. I am absolutely delighted and pleased I paid the extra to import it to the UK. The frame has a lovely balance and is very stable. Acceleration is fantastic and it seems to love climbing. The bike just rolls on with the minimum of effort. My previous bike was a Giant TCR and it rode a like a bag of spanners compared to this. Absolutely love it!!



  There is nothing more enjoyable than the feel of this bike
by Gerald S (Evansville, IN)

I purchased the Forte CR3 road bike in August and have thoroughly enjoyed this bike. It is a rock solid strong bike with excellent satiability throughout the speed range. There is nothing more enjoyable than the feel of the bike and rider as one and this I enjoy every time I venture out. I have learned the skill climbing hills, shifting and being clipped in and although at times I feel riding is a contact sport with the ground that is just part of the riding experience and not the fault of the bike. I honestly cannot look at this bike without wanting to ride. The staff at Fezzari has been a pleasure to do business with and its nice talking with a concerned group with quick response time. Thanks
