Specialized has never been in favour of dogmatic rules. And with a little resistance to UCI rules, the Shiv once again sets the new standard for speed. It retains its focus on aerodynamics, fuel and fit, but does so in a whole new and novel way.

Yes, it has disc brakes. Yes, it is easy to travel with. And yes, it takes aero to unprecedented heights using storage and fit features that also make you faster. There is only one bike that will take you to the top of the podium this season and that is the Shiv Disc.

To ensure it is "race-ready straight out of the box", the S-Works Shiv Disc is specified with only the best components. Shimano's Dura-Ace Di2 with hydraulic disc brakes is responsible for both shifting and braking.

Meanwhile, the S-Works Power Cranks give you all the power data you'll ever need. And for rolling stock, the Roval Rapide CLX Disc wheels are not only extremely aerodynamic, but they are also much lighter than any other wheels in their class.
