Kestrel Rt 1000 Shimano Dura Ace Road Bike 2017

Kestrel RT 1000 Shimano Dura Ace Road Bike 2017. The Kestrel RT 1000 is a great choice for endurance road riders who like to stretch out their mileage on the weekends, ride Gran Fondos, or who simply want a top of the line race machine, but without the race geometry. The Kestrel RT 1000 Dura Ace road bike features a full carbon frame and fork, Shimano Dura Ace 11 speed components, and Oval Concepts 733 super light aluminum wheels. A close cousin to the Kestrel Legend, but with more relaxed geometry, the RT 1000 boasts Kestrel's aerodynamic DNA and is, therefore, plenty fast yet offers greater comfort over longer distances. The geometry features a taller head tube that puts the rider in a more upright position to ease back fatigue, a longer wheelbase that increases stability, and a slightly sloping top tube that allows the rider to mount and dismount more easily. The RT 1000 is constructed of Kestrel's Enhanced Modulus Hybrid EMH carbon a combination of 800K and 700K carbon fibers. It's lightweight and stiff, yet also designed to offer a bit more compliance. A tapered head tube enhances lateral stiffness for excellent steering precision. Shimano Dura Ace 11 speed components adorn the RT 1000, along with a Rotor 3D30 5034 tooth compact crankset. Oval Concepts 733 super light aluminum rims and Vittoria Rubino Pro Speed 25c wide tires deliver superior performance and grip. A set of Shimano Ultegra brakes supply unparalleled braking performance and a ZIPP Service Course SL finishing kit make the Legend SL shine like no other.
