Are you referring to the new airfoil or the previous KM-40 version?

I have two Kestrel KM-40's, good ride, climb great, fit me well.

I finally saw and talked to the owner of an Airfoil Pro in september. These are his words not mine, "It's 1.5 mph faster than my P3 in all conditions." He loved it. He finished 2nd overall in that race and was on his way to Kona. It's definately and eye-catcher, just like the old airfoil was. And fast too!

That's an excellent price--about what I paid for mine nine years ago, and I got a deal. As long as you can get a fit, there's little to recommend against it. I'm riding a 56cm, and I'm 6'2", 33" inseam, 34" shirt sleeve.

The only down side I've found is that the paint's fairly tender, but that's going to be the case on any carbon-fiber-reinforced composite frame, since they can't be baked.
