You'll have to get used to leading into T2 because Specialized's S-Works Shiv is such a fast bike. Its FACT 11r-carbon frame and fork are impressively light and have been meticulously designed for the maximum aerodynamic advantage. Each and every tube has been optimized in the wind tunnel and painstakingly shaped by Specialized's engineers to reduce drag to an absolute minimum. And, you can easily customize your position so your body and bike work together in perfect aerodynamic harmony. The amazing Shiv even boasts a built-in hydration system so no bottles will slow you down. Other trick goodies include the wind-cheating Zipp 404s, Shimano's innovative Dura-Ace Di2 electronic components and other carbon aero bits. The Shiv already owns an Ironman World Championship. What will it do for you?
This frame utilizes Specialized’s advanced FACT IS (Integrated Structure) construction method. By separating the frame into four main parts — the front triangle, seat tube/bottom bracket, chainstays and seatstays — Specialized is able to optimize each carbon piece for its specific purpose and create a structure that’s incredibly light, impeccably stiff and impressively strong.
