Kestrel Talon X Road Shimano Dura Ace
Details
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 Kestrel KSL55 Carbon wheels wrapped in Vittoria rubber for premier level aerodynamics, strength, and traction. Its pack-leading Shimano Dura-Ace compact drivetrain means flawless operation and easier climbing, while the TRP brakes spell excellent control. You also get a sleek stem and saddle from Oval Concepts with Kestrel's aero carbon handlebar and EMS Aero Pro seatpost to cut through the wind and deliver lightweight control.
