So why is there so little discussion of the Kestrel KM40? It seems like everyone is looking at and comparing virtually every other tri or tri-like (ex. Talon) bike. FYI – I ride a Talon.
I am considering a new bike and seem to keep drifting back to the KM40. The P3 is very tempting as is the Tiphoon and some others, but I am just wondering why no one on this board seems to ride a KM40 and why it seems to rarely come up as the bike to buy? I speculate that it is because it has been around for years (not the new "hot" bike) or because it only comes in 650’s, but maybe I am missing something.
Anyone care to provide their thoughts on the KM40? It still is the ultimate tri bike, with the P3 as the only real challenge or equal – correct?
