The New 2018 Talon X Road Bike from Kestrel Bicycles

The New 2018 Talon X Road Bike from Kestrel Bicycles
Kestrel Bicycles (USA) – “The Talon X is the perfect choice for triathletes looking to train on a road bike but race a tri bike without emptying their wallets on two separate machines; triathletes who race different distances and formats throughout the season; cyclists looking for a bike for their first triathlon or duathlon; or simply riders seeking an aero road bike with a host of smart features”, shared Kestrel Bicycles.

Highlights:
  • The All-New Talon X is constructed using our highest grade 800K high-modulus carbon fiber for a light, but incredibly strong platform. Kestrel's 800K carbon uses inner polyurethane molds in high-stress areas such as the BB shell and head tube to minimize wrinkles in the carbon layers for greater compaction, resulting in the lightest and highest performing frame possible.
  • The geometry is ideally suited for road and triathlon use and uses a tapered 1 1/8"-1 1/2" head tube which enhances lateral stiffness for excellent steering precision.
  • The full carbon KSL fork is shaped to match the aerodynamics of the downtube. Direct mount brake offers increased performance and tire clearance.
