$4,231 off Kestrel Rt 1000 Shimano Dura-Ace Road Bike

With an 800k carbon frame that features an ultra-stiff head tube and bottom bracket, and rear stays and fork designed to absorb maximum road shock, the Shimano Dura-Ace equipped Kestrel RT 1000 delivers a perfect combination of light weight, performance and comfort. The folks at Kestrel use a modular monocoque design that ensures that each bike, regardless of size, has exactly the same handling and response, which in the Kestrel RT1000's case, happen to be on the high end of the scale, thanks in large part to the bike's carbon fork with tapered carbon steerer, race-proven Shimano Dura-Ace components and lightweight Oval alloy/carbon clincher wheelset. Of course, the fact that Kestrel is the pioneer of all-carbon frames may have just a little something to do with it, too.
