Specialized Shiv

[chewnupandspitout]

Cleans up , modular, Fuselage , chassi , blunt profiles .. shall i go on ?

All marketing gimmicks

Specialized has too much money . that is it ..

[bo4arrow]

@farbar1955 i disagree, the rider is only moving for only a few seconds to insert/remove tube from the mouth. were as a bottle is constantly there, constantly dragging in the wind.

[Skyrunners100]

FUCK UCI

[Farbar1955]

Whatever aero advantage there is in hiding the water bladder inside the bike was destroyed when the rider raised his hand to bring the tube to his mouth and then to lower it down. Only have to do it one or two times and the overall result is the same as if you had a regular water bottle in a cage.

[alloaw]

What happened to the integrated brakes?

[lyclycsms]

so by saying ignoring the UCI rules, this is the lightest bike made by specialized?

[ZAFfilm]

lol, basically, fuck UCI.

[elquemontabicicleta]

1:00

Completely Ignore the UCI rule???????

[exor92]

@doublefieldli off course, since 2011 shiv can't be used in TT races…

[doublefieldli]

@exor92 So what will be used in TT races? Why don't they design something that can really be used in Race?..hahaaa

[exor92]

@doublefieldli the shiv now is for triatlon, look the bikes that HTC and Saxo Bank used this year… they are a diferent time trial bike

A REMOVABLE HYDRATION RESERVOIR (APPROXIMATE CAPACITY OF ONE WATER BOTTLE—EXACT SIZE IS FRAME-SPECIFIC) FITS EASILY THROUGH A PORT ON THE TOP TUBE, AND STOWS INSIDE THE DOWN TUBE. RIDERS CAN REFILL THE RESERVOIR DIRECTLY THROUGH THE PORT WITHOUT NEED FOR REMOVAL, EVEN ON THE FLY; AND THE BITE VALVE CAN BE MOUNTED ANYWHERE ON THE BARS, WITH A MOVABLE MAGNETIC MOUNT. PLUS, THE WHOLE SYSTEM CAN BE REMOVED FOR EASY CLEANING.

[robknecht2]

Hey Specialized, do you need an average age grouper to try one of these out? If you do, I'm your guy!!!

[slowtwitchsports]

it has a removable water bladder...kinda like a camelbak bladder

[squiddie96]

If i win the lottery, this will be my ride haha

[trenttyre]

UCI is made up of a bunch of douche bags! they screw everything up just like USA cycling

[Skandoro]

how do you clean the water bottle?

[FenrirJotunheimen]

@Skandoro put some water inside and just go offroad for few minutes

[Condro714]

@Skandoro There's a hatch on top that opens up so you can either fill it while it's inside or take the bladder out completely

[taratatabo]

@Skandoro it is like a camelback... u can remove it then clean it and put it into the frame again... if u search a bit, you'll find some pictures about what im talking about ;D

[maddypark]

@Skandoro You can remove the bladder.

[micas96]

@Skandoro Nice question.... My guess is that it is made from some kind of material that is resistant to bacteria and fungi, rendering cleansing unnecessary.

[martigra666]

@micas96 could be similar to the camelbak bottles...some sort of anti fungi material...

[yahbud]

it carries the water bottle internally to reduce its radar signature.
