Kestrel RT 1000 Dura Ace Road Bike 2016. The Kestrel RT 1000 SL with Shimano Dura Ace is one of the few bikes in the marketplace that actually looks as fast and as comfortable as it rides. High technology and proprietary design come together to create a riding experience that turns your power into blazing accelerations and increased miles per hour when you put the hammer down. Every Kestrel design is proprietary, engineered from scratch in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The process begins with computer aided design and analysis. Once the modeling is over, Kestrel builds structural prototypes and submits them to a battery of laboratory tests, miles of riding under both sponsored athletes and the highly knowledgeable engineers themselves. The result is a Kestrel carbon frame that is executed with a high degree of engineering mastery. The RT 1000 Dura Ace is made from a special 800k high modulus carbon fiber. While the Kestrel 700k material is incredibly stiff, the 800k carbon is 30% more stiff, and allows Kestrel to use 20% less material in the production of the frame. The BB30 press fit bottom bracket and tapered head tube further the amount of frame stiffness and smooth handling.
