Specialized Shiv TT S-Works Module

The module includes the frame, fork, seatpost, and cockpit components. You will need to source your own groupset, wheelset, and saddle to complete the build.

While traditional wisdom suggested rim brakes were more aerodynamic, modern integration allows the Shiv TT to hide the calipers within the frame profile. This setup provides superior stopping power and modulation without sacrificing the drag reduction required for competitive time trials.

Yes, the Shiv TT S-Works is designed to push the limits of UCI regulations while remaining fully compliant. It is built to meet the governing body's strict geometry and tube-shape requirements for sanctioned racing.

The cockpit is highly modular, allowing for significant changes in stack, reach, and armrest width. This adjustability is critical for dialing in a position that balances aggressive aerodynamics with the comfort needed to hold a tuck for the duration of a race.

While optimized for the speed demands of time trials, the Shiv TT's geometry and adjustability make it a capable platform for triathletes. However, if you are racing Ironman-distance events, you may want to compare it against the Shiv Disc, which offers integrated hydration and storage features that this TT-specific module lacks.

Like any high-end carbon race bike, you should regularly inspect the frame for stress fractures, especially after transport or crashes. Because of the integrated cable routing and proprietary cockpit parts, routine maintenance is best handled by a shop experienced with high-performance time trial rigs.
