2020 Specialized Shiv Sport

Overview

About this bike

The Shiv Sport was designed with one goal in mind - making you faster over the bike leg of your race. Of course, we wanted to do this without setting you back six months' rent. So whether you're looking to go after your first triathlon or to set a new PR, you can ride with confidence that this bike is up to the task. Its full FACT 10r carbon fiber frame was developed in our very own Win Tunnel, and it's not only been aerodynamically optimized for straight-line speed, but it also features airfoils that have been optimized to limit side force in crosswinds. A bike can only be as fast as its rider, though, which is why we also developed the Control Tower fit system that let's you optimize your stack and reach numbers in order to find your most comfortable and powerful position for your desired length. Next up comes the Fuelselage Hydration System that houses a water bladder inside of the frame, making it virtually invisible to the wind. And to go along with your water, the Fuelcell fits plenty of food and even has room for a flat kit. The best part of the Fuelselage and Fuelcell combination is that, when packed correctly, it cleans up the frame and saves up to 75 seconds when compared to a taped-up system. Finally, the Shiv Sport is built up with a mix of Shimano and microSHIFT components, and it's been topped off with durable, smooth-rolling DT R460 wheels. - FACT Aero carbon fork utilizes our most advanced carbon construction methods to provide precise steering and rider input, while also improving overall aerodynamics. - The FACT 10r carbon frame is lightweight and extremely responsive. It features crosswind-optimized airfoils for enhanced aerodynamic performance, while the Control Tower Fit System provides versatile fit options and nutrition integration.
