High Value - Full Carbon - Entry Level Price
By M. Byrne
Overall 5 Stars:
Strengths:
Very polished, rides true. Came in just under 20 lbs
including pedals with the 105 group set. For the new 2013 model, Oval 327
wheels are much improved over the Oval 524's from prior year. Smooth shifting,
good looking. 2013 color is white on black. Over 250 miles, no issues. 2013
version has the blended carbon of 700K & 800K. Previous year version was
700k carbon only. The 2013 105 group set is clearly high value in this price
range. The 327 Wheels are standard on Fuji Bikes that retail for $3000. I'm big
guy , right at the max weight limit of 275 pounds - this bike handles me with
ease - plenty of stiffness, efficient power transfer. Down in the Georgia flat
lands near Savannah, I was easily cruising at 18/19 mph. Full carbon frame,
with a heavy duty bonded rear triangle that let you maximize your power
transfer with little flex. Excellent carbon frame for us Clydesdale ( cyclists
over 200 pounds)
Weaknesses: Needed to upgrade the brake calipers to the
105's ( especially with my weight when going downhill). Also upgraded the tires
to gatorskins, since i really do not like dealing with flats every month or so.
The point is you will always be making upgrades as you see the need - but you
have a great base to build from and upgrade over time.
Bottom Line:
Great entry level full carbon bike at very modest
investment. You will be hard pressed to find a better value. A well deserved 5
stars. One more point - the bike has a unique and very aerodynamic frame. When
Kestrel started the carbon bike industry in the 80's, they hired military
aerospace engineers, that's why even today, they offer a limited lifetime
warranty on their frames and forks ( excludes crashes obviously).

2013 Kestrel Talon Shimano 105 Carbon Fiber 55CM Bike
By Dante Vinas
It came a day after I ordered it (super fast) in a beat up
box which was patched-up and re-taped, I was worried there for a while until I
finished unpacking. It turned out that it was packed pretty good with foam and
zip ties. It took me about an hour since it is more in pieces than a Schwinn
road bike I put together about a week ago. So far I am happy with this sharp
looking and very light bike (18.6 lbs without the pedals and front brake
calipers) that I haven't ridden yet since it did not come with pedals and the
pedals I ordered won't be here for another 3 days. I will update my review as
soon as I have ridden the bike.
5/2/2013 Update - The Bike is great but the rear tire was
punctured by a paper staples from the road and had a flat tire at mile 46...might
have to invest on a better tire.

By D. Sprague
MSRP is $1,550! this is the shimano 105 version, saving of
$200. A great bike and better color than 2012 version.
