WELCOME TO BICYCLE RIDERS.  WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR VISIT TO THE SITE.

Introducing the new 2012 Shiv.  The bike any discerning triathelete should choose.

Why?

Shiv riders spend hours on their bikes, often in the brutal heat and wind, cranking out every watt they can muster in pursuit of a personal best or perhaps a World Championship. Of course they want the stealthiest bike available, but they also must remain comfortable and well-fueled throughout. So they demand all the advantages that only Shiv can deliver: unmatched aerodynamics, the innovative Fuelselage™ integrated hydration system, and a huge range of fit adjustments.

WHAT:

Incredibly aerodynamic, crosswind-optimized, non UCI-legal FACT carbon frame with internal cable routing, OSBB, and Fuelselage integrated hydration system; available in five sizes.

WHY:

To give triathletes a purpose-built, tri-specific, highly aero bike (especially in crosswinds) that is uber-fast but also offers optimized fit for a wide spectrum of riders. Plus with fully-housed, internal cable routing, rebuild after travel and normal maintenance is considerably quicker and less complicated.

HOW:

By ignoring UCI rules that don’t pertain to tri anyway, we were able to design extra-deep airfoil tubing and fork (mostly in 4:1 ratio), and a massive head tube. These tubes dramatically improve airflow over the standard 3:1 ratio tubing, which allowed us to offer a more adjustable and ergonomic cockpit without sacrificing overall aerodynamics. We also designed each area of tubing separately, based on the specific airflow conditions in that precise area. Finally all areas are optimized for crosswinds, more typical than straight-on headwinds, especially in tri.
