Overview
About this bike
The discerning triathlete or new roadie would be wise to sink their claws into Kestrel's Talon Road Shimano 105. A capable triathlon trainer or off-season mile-logger, the aerodynamic Talon is sure to help you reach new heights. The wind tunnel-tested Enhanced Modulus Hybrid (EMH) carbon frame is both lightweight and stiff, yet also designed to offer a bit more compliance to keep you comfortable during long excursions. Shimano's lauded 105 11-speed drivetrain and Tektro brakes will help you chew through hills and scrub off speed with confidence. Finally, Kestrel's own Oval Concepts rims roll fast, and the aluminum components create a comfortable yet responsive cockpit for you to control, and Vittoria tires round out the package with corner-gripping traction.
