S-Works Shiv TT Module

On asphalt, it's mainly a question of resistance and efficiency, and that's what the score summarizes. In day-to-day use, it's designed for a mix of riding rather than top-end pace. It ends up here thanks to a very light build, a lighter-feeling mass profile that helps on accelerations and tempo climbs, a default tire-width baseline, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright...

Uphill performance score: 1.8/10. Within Road bikes, it ranks near the bottom. You may find yourself pushing a bit more on steeper grades. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 32.4 gear inches. On the ‘easier low gear’ scale, it sits around ~18% versus similar bikes. We use “gear inches” as a shortcut for climbing gearing. Lower numbers mean you can spin more easily when it gets steep. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

For a triathlon build, with more integrated details, aero-wise, at 10.0/10, it’s very clearly optimized for windy, fast terrain and it’s built to feel efficient at pace. The short version is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. This setup supports a more race-leaning posture, helping you present less of your body to the wind. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. Not every brand publishes the same detail, so this leans on the clearest available specs. The faster you ride, the more this aero focus tends to show up in how it holds speed.

Race / Pro fit - an aggressive tuck meant for hard efforts over pure comfort. That's driven by the front end is very large, with ~140 mm of saddle-to-bar drop, with a extreme stretch forward at ~645 mm. You'll likely be near 44 degrees of lean. TT/tri intent often means a more extreme tuck with the right setup.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: Because the cockpit is integrated, swapping sizes or positions is less straightforward, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier. At the same time, Aero or proprietary posts often restrict how easily you can change fit parts. So it falls into Race-Fit Specific. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Ride comfort is 2.7/10 — on a real ride it feels more responsive than cushy. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is race-leaning (posture 9/10, torso ~44°), which tends to feel more direct, especially over rougher sections.

This doesn’t look like the best deal once you compare it to similar builds. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 21% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 50% of listings). To anchor it: price €6.301 versus an estimated €5.215 for a similar build. A few manufacturer details aren’t clearly published, so treat this as a best-effort estimate, not a precise verdict. Overall, it doesn’t look like the best value for the spec.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. The tire size is unknown in this entry, so the surface range is based on the clearest available signals. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
