Description
The Specialized Shiv Pro Race Bike 2016 not only looks the business, it is the business by managing to simultaneously be light, comfortable, aerodynamic and adjustable.
The Shiv has already built a reputation for being one of the fastest bikes in the world, but the updated tube shapes that feature optimised airfoils for enhanced aerodynamic performance in crosswinds. Fantastically, Specialized's use of the FACT 10r carbon fibre throughout keeps things incredibly light for such a high performance bicycle. 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.
For those embarking on long distance events such as Ironman or longer time trials, then there 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.
Fantastically, the Control Tower Fit System allows first time triathletes as well as aspiring Bradley Wiggins to achieve the most comfortable and efficient position for them.
Specialized have really stepped things up with the finishing kit for this Pro Race model with the inclusion of the Specialized Pro crankset. This lightweight carbon fibre chainset delivers supremely sharp shifting as well delivering unparalleled performance thanks to its stiff construction. Combining this with a Shimano Ultegra 6800 11 speed drivetrain featuring Dura Ace 9000 parts in the key areas of the rear derailleur and shifters ensures you get some of the absolute best gear shifting possible.
Perhaps the most obvious and beneficial upgrade here though are the Roval Rapide CL 60 wheels. These further enhance the aerodynamic credentials of this Shiv as well as making it race ready straight out of the box.
This is not the end up the improvements though, as you are also getting the Specialized Carbon Aerobar to ensure no excessive weight is going to be slowing you down. Thankfully, the 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 is here to stay.
