Overview
About this bike
The Talon is the perfect choice for triathletes looking to train on a road bike but race a tri bike without emptying their wallets on two separate machines; triathletes who race different distances and formats throughout the season; cyclists looking for a non-threatening, non-bank-breaking bike for their first triathlon or duathlon; or simply riders seeking road bike handling with tri bike speed. A Shimano 105 drivetrain and Kestrel's own Oval Concepts components make this the perfect entry-level aero-machine for your first (or next) triathlon.
