Overview
About this bike
Sink your claws into that podium spot and never let go with Kestrel's Talon Road. Its monocoque-carbon frame is light and stiff for excellent power transfer and handling. Plus, it features airfoil-shaped tubes, a rear-wheel cutout in the seat tube, and internal cable routing for an aero advantage, even more efficiency, and maximum free speed. Up front, Kestrel's KSL carbon fork smooths the road and lets you corner like never before. This slick aero machine rolls on a fine set of Oval Concepts wheels, while its trusty Shimano 105 compact drivetrain means easier climbing and the Tektro brakes spell excellent control. You also get a sleek stem, handlebar, and saddle from Oval Concepts, Kestrel's carbon EMS Aero Pro seatpost, and a pair of legendary Vittoria tires to rule the road.
