Overview
About this bike
Take over 25 years of carbon fiber bike design, a healthy knowledge of aerodynamics, and an appreciation for the importance of comfort, and you've got Kestrel's RT-1000. Its aerodynamic carbon frame boasts a taller head tube putting you in the perfect position for power and comfort on all your rides. Complementing the quick, responsive frame is Kestrel's tapered carbon fork that rails corners with authority. Underneath is a set of speedy Oval wheels that are driven by Campagnolo's trusty Athena 22-speed components with compact gearing for dancing over even the steepest hills. What's more, the RT-1000 boasts an aero carbon seatpost and a collection of Oval's choice parts.
