The incredibly versatile Talon is the ideal platform for the budding road and multisport athlete. Why? It's like owning two bikes in one! With the seat in the traditional rearward position, it's a road racing rocket with classic road geometry and shaped aero tubing for breakaway speed. Or slide the saddle fully forward and install a clip-on aerobar, and you're ready to tackle the bike leg of a triathlon.

Why choose a Kestrel? Strength, speed, stiffness, value, ride quality, lightweight... the list goes on and on. With two decades of carbon fiber manufacturing to build on, Kestrel is a leader in the aero carbon market.

      • Fast
      • Good Looking
      • Great shifting
      • Quality Components
      • Smooth

      Best Uses

      • Racing
      • Road bike
      • Triathlon bike

      This road/triathlon bike is a great mid level race bike. The price is fantastic for the carbon frame and 105 components. There is nothing really comparable to it. I love the look, it is sleek and different, with nice lines and colour combinations. I am very uncomfortable on the saddle though and will have to replace it. Otherwise highly recommend.
