Technology

• Constructed from Kestrel’s highest grade 800k KSL carbon using EPS inner molds to optimize compaction, which provides a lighter, stronger and better riding bike.
• 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.
• PF30 bottom bracket maximizes frame stiffness at the crank.
• Direct mount caliper brakes offer better performance with improved tire clearance over standard calipers.
• Chain stay mounted rear brake improves aerodynamics and allows the seat stays to provide additional vibration dampening.
• Oversized and shaped downtube increases stiffness at key areas to optimize power transfer
• Shaped seat stays provide increased compliance for more comfort over uneven road surfaces
• Asymmetrically shaped chain stays are designed to improve lateral stiffness and power transfer.
• KSL aero seat post offers reversibility to allow the rider perfect fitment for road or triathlon use.
• Integrated seat post clamp offers a cleaner aesthetic and improved aerodynamics
• Each of frame size has unique tube lengths, diameters, shapes, and carbon layups to produce the best possible ride quality for every size rider.
• Shimano 105 drivetrain provides reliable performance year after year
• Oval Concepts 300 crankset featuring Praxis Works chain rings for best in class shift performance
• Oval Concepts 350/750 aero bar system provides ease of adjustment and performance
