Strengths: It's all good. Great value on a nice light bike.Weaknesses: None I have noticed.Bottom Line: The bike is actually a 2009. Very nice bike for the money. Comfortable riding, but great handling. SRAM Rival components are very nice. It came with a 50x36 compact crank w/ 12x25 on the back. I dropped the small chainring down down to a 34 and I'm pleased with the climbing ability. I've just turned over 1000 miles on the bike and I'm very pleased. Killer deal on a nice bike.
Favorite Ride: They're all good

Strengths: Great looks, black carbon is sexy. Stiff but plush ride. Great groupo with the scram rival, love the double tap levers. Shimano probably shifts a little smoother but no complaints on the scram.Weaknesses: Maybe the seat, will have to ride more. If you want me to get real picky, some of the gel coat has areas where it is a little dull looking, but you have to be within inches and have the light just right to see. Most people would never notice it. For the price, I can't complainBottom Line: The 2009 Kestel Evoke SL arrived undamaged. The bike is much better looking in person than the pics show online. Top and bottom tubes are a modified trapezoid shape, very aero! The evoke weighed 16lbs 4oz which is only 2oz off what the Manfc shows. I rode 32 miles today and could not be happier with the bike. This is my first roadbike in 20 years, I am mainly a Mnt Biker.
