FEATURING
Professional parts specs such as a top-of-the-line 20 Speed Shimano Dura Ace 7900 Drivetrain - Shimano Dura Ace DA7900 Cranks, Rear Derailleur, Shifters AND Vuelta Team SL Wheelset too.

Race Proven
For decades, Shimano Dura Ace components have been used to dominate the Tour de France and many other world-class events all over the world. Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 is some of their best technology available now.

Highest Quality Carbon
Since 1987, Kestrel has been meticulously hand-building their carbon frames using the tightest quality control standards in the industry. Their goal - perfecting the science of speed. Kestrel was the first to launch an all carbon bike and thus wrote the book on bicycle performance: weight, stiffness, efficiency, and even the shape of the bicycle itself. With 20 years of carbon fiber experience under their belts, Kestrel is a name you can feel confident in.

Superb Ride
Kestrel's road geometry has been painstakingly refined to maximize ride comfort and handling grip. Every Kestrel frame comes with a matching, frame-specific fork that's engineered and ride tuned for perfectly balanced handling with a sensitive road feel and superb ride comfort.

The RT800 uses Kestrel's unmatched carbon fiber know-how for a superior riding experience. Superb stiffness, superior strength, durability and Kestrel's legendary aerodynamic geometry lend to a road-smoothing ride with precise handling and efficient power transfer. Size-specific tuning optimizes the ride for every size, so you get the same precise handling with a responsive feel regardless of how big you are or where you ride.

Highest Technology
RT800 SL is formed from a weight-shaving Carbon fiber hybrid into a Modular monocoque aerodynamic frame design.

* Constantly varying tube sections and optimized shapes throughout, for increased torsional rigidity and bottom bracket stiffness
* Semi-sloping top tube for lower center of gravity and stiffer main triangle
* Structurally optimized one-piece modular Monocoque main triangle
* Size-specific, proportionally scaled tube and junction profiles for consistent ride quality and superior stiffness in every size
* Aero-sculpted and sleek, for solo breakaways
* Reinforced bottom bracket and chainstays for power transfer
* Dedicated fork, co-engineered with the frame for balanced handling feel and precision

* Full Internal cable routing
* Semi-integrated headset for a low profile, optimal stiffness and full replaceability
* Ultra clean rear brake cable exit integrated into seatpost binder
* Proprietary, RT exclusive dropouts and fork
* Replaceable derailleur hanger
* Sculpted H-shape seatstays are tuned to damp vibration so less road buzz reaches the saddle
* Precision-tuned fork for cutting fast downhill bends or criterium corners

Frame weight = 2.42lbs* approx (no pedals/reflectors)
