Specialized Shiv Elite Triathlon Bike 2016

When speed is the name of the game, the Specialized Shiv Elite Triathlon Bike 2016 is the bike of choice.

Specialized have spent countless hours working with the FACT 10r carbon fibre frame and FACT Aero carbon fibre fork to ensure it is lightweight but still phenomenally responsive. A big part of how this bike is so fast is down to the aerodynamics. These enable this Shiv to perform in all conditions thanks to the crosswind-optimised airfoils, meaning this is an all-round performer, rather than a straight line one trick pony.

Built into this beautiful frame is the Fuelselage Hydration System so that you can seamlessly integrate your nutritional requirements without compromising looks, aerodynamics or your ability to ride the bike.

All levels of riders, from first time triathletes to aspiring Bradley Wiggins, can appreciate the wide fit range with Control Tower Fit System. These ensure everyone can achieve the most comfortable and efficient position for them.

Such a frame deserves some similarly high quality finishing kit, and that is exactly what it gets with the TURN Zayante crankset by Praxis Works. This award winning chainset is incredibly durable as well delivering exceptional performance thanks to its stiff construction. This slots beautifully into the rest of the Shimano 105 5800 11-speed drivetrain for effortless and crisp gear shifting.

Specialized have gone with the dependable Axis 2.0 wheels to deliver a reliable starting set of wheels, that would also make an excellent training set when you start to look for even more marginal gains with a wheel upgrade.

The finishing touches comes from a set of Shiv Hydroformed Alloy Aerobars with a FACT carbon fibre Shiv Aero seatpost that further enhances the range of fit options on this bike as it features a 12.5mm and 37.5mm setback fit options.
