Review : 2013 Kestrel Talon Road Legend Shimano Ultegra Bike Ultegra Equipped 16lbs

Authorized dealer-warranty is valid.

Free Maxx HD Sunglasses Valued at $39.99.

Kestrel's Talon grabs a hold of the top spot and never lets go. 

Kestrel launches their Tour level road bike, with thoroughbred race geometry that will fly over the pavement. 

The featherweight frame tips the scale at a mere 780 g., making it Kestrel's lightest road frame of all time. 

Kestrel's own blend of high modulus carbon provides the right mix of lateral stiffness for optimal power transfer, with just the right amount vertical compliance for a smooth and comfortable ride. 

The final product is a frame that accelerates when you put the power down, while eliminating chatter to rail around corners.
