Specialized S-Works Shiv Disc model 2024

The new Shiv is faster than ever

The laws of ultralightweight and aerodynamics are not set in carbon for Specialized , and with systematic disregard for the UCI rules, the S-Works Shiv LTD frameset once again sets the standard for speed. Of course, the focus remains on aerodynamics, efficiency and fit, but in a completely different and novel way. Yes, the Shiv has disc brakes. Yes, it's easy to transport. And yes, it enables aero gains on a scale never seen before. With in- and on-bike storage, our fuel cells, and a wide range of adjustment options, it makes you faster than ever. There is only one triathlon bike that will help you jump onto the podium this season and that is the S-Works Shiv LTD frameset.

The S-Works Shiv LTD frameset comes with a Shiv carbon aerobar with variable stack and a Shiv carbon seatpost with 0mm offset – the perfect platform for building your race bike.

Highlights

• The incredibly aerodynamic, crosswind-optimized, non-UCI FACT carbon frame has all the features you could want. It's easy to pack, adjustable, has integrated storage for liquids and snacks, and makes it easy to find your perfect riding position. Compared to the fastest Shiv setup from 2011 with a water tank, ultra-low cockpit, clean cable routing, and BTA bottle, the new Shiv with disc brakes is about a minute faster around the Kona race course. With a more typical setup, the new Shiv is minutes faster. No matter how much you need to carry, Specialized makes sure you have the fastest setup
• What was that about storage again? Just like the previous model, the Shiv offers integrated transport options for liquids and snacks. Specialized calls them the fuel cells. But of course they didn't just copy everything, they designed it from scratch. They moved the liquid tank from the inside of the frame to the rear of the bike. There it is seamlessly connected to the frame and the drinking tube is routed inside. This not only increases the capacity of the tank, but also improves aerodynamics. The "New Shape of Speed" of the down tube is more voluminous and frees up more space for the snack compartment. How many snacks fit in there? 10-12 gels or 4-5 bars fit in easily. The compartment can be removed so you can easily access the Shimano Di2 A-Junction Box or a flat repair kit
• The Shiv frame set has a wide range of adjustment options so that you can adjust it perfectly to your needs. The four available frame sizes are based on thousands of data from our Retül bike fitting. This ensures that you find the right size for you
• The adjustability of the aerobars, extensions and arm pads was at the top of our list, so you can fine-tune the cockpit to suit you down to the smallest detail. Do you need more or less stack? It can be easily adjusted with just one screw on each side. The aerobars also offer many adjustment options - front, rear and the width of the arm pads. Here you can choose between aggressive and relaxed riding positions. The fact that the Shiv is also easy to transport is a real bonus. All you have to do is fold the base handlebar down to the fork, detach the cockpit and your Shiv is ready for the bike box. We couldn't make it easier
