REVIEWS
PezCyclingnews.com Charles M. "…light weight, and slightly aggressive seat tube angle make it a natural in aggressive hill riding…stable front end make it comfortable running through twisty roads without being twitchy. Good stiffness along with that same seat angle makes the Evoke a good tool for dishing out attacks on the flats as well…"
FA Roadbikereview.com "Like many, I have considered BD due to their pricing and overall good ratings…packed very well by Kestrel…fits perfectly, even as to the stem length…I am in love. No chainline or BB flex noted at all. Even the seat is very decent. I expected to swap it, but may not after all. In summary this is a very well laid out $5k bike…If you are on the fence about this bike, I encourage you to take the plunge."
KR Roadbikereview.com "…very responsive and really soaks up the road without sacrificing speed or feel….I have taken it on a number of 30 and 50 mile rides and it handles like a dream. Light, smooth and responsive."
Aaron S Roadbikereview.com "I've had this bike for a little while now. I did a double century right out of the box and I've done a number of 100+ training rides. I LOVE this bike…I didn't think a frame can help you climb any better, but the truth is that it does."
DS Roadbikereview.com "This bike has performed very well over the 1,500 miles I have put on it. It is very responsive and doesn't waste any part of your pedal stroke. Climbing is actually fun and it handles great on the downhills. I have not noticed any weaknesses with this frame."
Roger Roadbikereview.com "…very good price, it fits me perfect. The bike looks great and feels very strong. When I ride uphill the bike accelerates, it uses every bit of energy to propel forward. It is a great riding bike…"
Rick G Roadbikereview.com "...put about 200 miles on it so far with the longest ride being 30 miles this past weekend…by far the best bike I have ever ridden, super comfortable and handles well! On a ride earlier this week Strava said I got up to 48 mph and it was as stable as you could ask...no shimmy just great. Also being 268 pounds I would likely amplify any issues with shimmy.
…similar geometry to the Caad 8 and 10…"

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 over 20 years of carbon fiber experience under their belts, Kestrel is a name you can feel confident in.
Superb Ride
Kestrel's 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.
Just like the award winning RT700, the Evoke 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.
