The tradition continues. For 2009, the Kestrel Talon steps it up a notch. The latest carbon lay-up allowed Kestrel to design a bike that not only looks fast, but actually rides fast. Hours spent in the wind tunnel inspired a lighter and more aero frame than in years past. The Talon provides you with a bike that is perfect for any triathlon course you have to conquer. With this bike, winning your next triathlon just got easier!

When you own a Kestrel, Performance, Quality and Speed are yours.
