Overview
About this bike
Combine over 25 years of carbon bike design, superior knowledge of aerodynamics, and a genuine appreciation for the importance of on-the-bike comfort and you've got Kestrel's RT-1000. Its aerodynamic, efficient, and nimble high-modulus carbon frame boasts a taller head tube for a head's-up fit and long-term comfort. Kestrel's EMS Pro tapered carbon fork damps vibrations and lets you corner with authority. A set of speedy Oval Concepts wheels equipped with Vittoria tires let you fly on the climbs and flats. Plus, the Oval Concepts/Shimano Ultegra 22-speed drivetrain shifts like a dream, and stopping on a dime is easy as can be with Shimano's powerful Ultegra brakes. The RT-1000 also sports Kestrel's aero EMS carbon seatpost and a collection of choice Oval Concepts parts for unmatched ergonomics and comfort.
