| 2017 Kestrel Legend Road Bike / Shimano 105 |
 The technologically-advanced 2017 Legend Shimano 105 Road Bike from Kestrel is a pro-level race bike designed for the result-driven athlete. From high-tempo climbs to spirited descents, the Legend delivers the best in fit, performance and engineering. Kestrel utilizes a combination of 700K and 800K Enhanced Modulus Hybrid carbon fibers to strategically strengthen high-stress areas and minimize weight in others, producing the lightest frameset without compromising torsional stiffness and compliance. To smooth out imperfections in the road, Kestrel employs their proprietary asymmetrical shaped rear H-stays and chainstays. This process dramatically improves vibration dampening characteristics and improves lateral stiffness to convert hard efforts into forward motion. Engineered with geometry-specific tube shapes and a tapered head tube, the Legend provides confident handling and offers superb ride quality for the longest of rides. Premium Shimano 105 11-speed components are reliable and offer smooth, intuitive shifting while the ZIPP Service Course handlebars and stem provide maximum comfort and desirable weight savings. The Oval Concepts 527 alloy wheels are light, tough and inspire high-tempo climbs and snappy accelerations. Transform your next ride into a race for the Yellow with the race-inspired 2017 Legend Shimano Ultegra Road Bike from Kestrel.
