Specialized Shiv Nose Cone

No, this specific nose cone is designed exclusively for the Specialized Shiv Disc model. It will not fit older rim-brake Shiv versions or other Specialized bike platforms.

Yes, the kit comes complete with the carbon nose cone cover, the rear bracket that sits between the fork legs, and the necessary M4 mounting bolts and washers.

If you are comfortable with basic bike maintenance and have the correct metric hex keys, you can install this yourself. Just ensure the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to avoid damaging the carbon.

Beyond the aesthetic finish, the nose cone is a critical aerodynamic component. It smooths airflow over the front end of the bike, which is essential for maintaining the drag-reduction performance the Shiv Disc was engineered to provide.

The included hardware uses standard M4 x 0.7P x 14mm bolts. If you lose them, you can source replacements at most well-stocked hardware stores, though using the original stainless steel hardware is recommended for corrosion resistance.
