Does anyone have any info on this bike? All I find on Google is for the old model. Kestrel claims that the frame weighs 625 grams on their site but can't find anything anywhere else.

I find that hard to believe. If it is true (and it rides okay) its the bargain of the century

IMHO 625gr frame using 700 and 800k carbon is just impossible.

The older Legend SL frame weight 780g. 625g would be quite a big drop in weight.

The frame is, quite literally, an open mold frame.

If it's true, it would be majorly impressive for that price. Would like to see a photo verifying the weight of the frame and what that included

I'm skeptical as well but it's still very surprising that not a single cycling site has any kind of info on it.
