The 5 Ounce Tuning Lever
The Kestrel is the world's lightest tuning lever*, with the most rigid carbon fiber possible, offering precision, feedback, and agility unlike anything else you've experienced. Our carbon fiber modulus (stiffness measure) is 3.5 times that of off-the-shelf structural CF tubing, and is specially made for us in small batches. Despite using more expensive tubing, the Kestrel is priced to be one of the more affordable US-made CF levers. We build the Kestrel to the length you specify, in our shop in Mesa, AZ.
Aluminum Head
The Kestrel's 12.5 degree angle head is anodized aircraft aluminum.
Handles
The composite handles are durable ASA plastic, in a variety of shapes. We will also offer wood handles with limited availability. The carbon fiber tubing extends through the handle to the center of the ball of the handle.
* Total weight for an 11" lever (with tuning tip installed) typically ranges from 4.8 to 5.2 ounces, depending on tuning tip length. Levers with wood handles weigh slightly more, depending on the shape, size, and density of the wood species.
