For years, time trial bikes have shared common traits: slim, deep airfoils, unstable handling, subpar braking, and heavy frames. While these attributes worked for the "flat and fast" courses of the past, today's more technical time trial courses demand a new approach. That's why Specialized pushed UCI regulations to the edge with the S-Works Shiv TT Triathlon Bike, incorporating disc brakes, shedding weight, and refining the fit. This bike is highly adjustable without compromising aerodynamics, setting the stage for the next decade of gold medals.
The S-Works Shiv TT Disc Module serves as the ideal foundation for building your ultimate TT bike.
As time trial courses evolve with tighter turns and steeper grades, the Shiv TT shines by combining years of research, development, and feedback from professional riders. It's not just about straight-line speed anymore, this bike is engineered to handle technical prologues and rolling courses alike, with a redesigned silhouette that enhances agility while reducing weight.
Fit was a major focus of the new Shiv TT design. Using data from Retül and pro riders, the bike's geometry and front-end setup have been reimagined for optimised stability. Updated spacers, a refined bridge, and ergonomic armrests improve rider confidence, while the streamlined, one-piece bar and stem reduce front-end weight for better overall balance.
Disc brakes are now essential for time trials, especially on courses with unpredictable weather, sharp corners, and rough surfaces. The Shiv TT's disc brakes provide precise control, allowing for late braking and seamless gear shifts while enhancing cornering stability and acceleration, all without adding drag.
This is the next generation of time trial performance, ready for any challenge.
