Overview
About this bike
The creme de la creme of American carbon fiber technology and Japanese componentry come together in Kestrel's RT-1000 SL equipped with Shimano Dura Ace. Combining over 25 years of carbon fiber bike design, a healthy knowledge of aerodynamics, and an appreciation for the importance of comfort, this aerodynamic carbon frame boasts a taller head tube putting you in the perfect position for power and comfort. Complementing the quick, responsive frame is Kestrel's tapered carbon fork that rails corners with authority. Underneath is a set of speedy Oval deep dish wheels that are driven by buttery-smooth Shimano Dura Ace 20-speed components with a compact crank 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.
