Kestrel Rt 1000 Shimano Tiagra Flat Bar Road Bike 2017

Kestrel RT 1000 Shimano Tiagra Flat Bar Road Bike 2017. It's time to take your weekend ride to a whole new level of comfort, style, and performance. The Kestrel RT 1000 flat bar road bike breaks down this barrier and marries incredible aerodynamic design and high performance components with ergonomic grips, a slightly wider width Prologo saddle, and an Oval Concepts flat handlebar to deliver less body fatigue and more fun. The Kestrel RT 1000 Tiagra flat bar road bike features a full carbon frame and fork, Shimano Tiagra 10 speed components, and Oval Concepts 327 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 Tiagra 10 speed components are easy to use and provide plenty of durability. Oval Concepts 327 wheels and Vittoria Zaffiro Pro 25c wide tires deliver dependable performance and grip. A set of Shimano Tiagra brakes supply solid braking performance and a ZIPP Service Course stem and Oval flat bar provide added comfort.
