Jaroslav Kulhavy pilots his S-Works Epic to gold.

WORLD’S FASTEST XC BIKE Since its debut, the EPIC has continually proven it’s the fastest XC bike in the world. There’s a long list of racers who’ve won championships aboard one, and factory racer Jaroslav Kulhavy has done his part in immortalising the S-Works Epic into the history books by capturing two huge wins for “big” wheels. It’s now the first full-suspension 29er to win an XC World Championship, as well as Olympic XC Gold.

To carry the S-Works badge means no expense was spared in the pursuit of providing a competitive performance advantage. With the 100mmtravel Epic, the advantage starts with the frame. The lightweight and stiff full-carbon rear-end is exclusive to the S-Works model, and in the process saves nearly 300g over the M5 alloy version. At the heart of the Epic is the world’s most-efficient FSR suspension, equipped with the trail-sensing Brain. The Brain

RACE-READY — OUT OF THE BOX In the world of competitive Cross-Country racing we understand there are two schools of thought: to suspend or not to suspend. Realising different XC racers have different needs, we’ve developed world-championship-winning bikes for both styles: hardtail and full-suspension. To the rider looking for the absolute lightest-weight and handsdown fastest-off-the-line-and-sprint-to-the-finish-‘til-your-lungs-bleed XC machine; we’ve been expecting you. Enjoy your S-Works STUMPJUMPER HT.

With a competition-inspired carbon fibre lay-up unique to the S-Works model, the Stumpjumper HT frame is 138 grams lighter than other carbon models in the line and over 500 grams lighter than the M5 alloy Stumpjumper. Partner the world’s most advanced carbon hardtail frame with the feather-light, carbon fibre Roval Control SL 29 wheelset, 90mm-travel fork featuring Brain damping, and revolutionary SRAM XX1 11-speed drivetrain, and you have the best-handling

U.S. National Champion lea davison charges to victory in Sun Valley, Idaho.

TRAIL CAPABLE, RACE READY Wouldn’t it be great if a bike was designed that’s equally suited for a weekend singletrack adventure as it is racing to the podium in a World Cup XC event? Well, don’t waste money on a lottery ticket, because your lucky day has already arrived — you can even call it FATE. As the first carbon 29er engineered specifically for women, the groundbreaking Fate is the pinnacle of women’s XC performance. For 2013, we’ve grown the line of the best-fitting women’s 29ers to include the trail-ready and National Champion Lea Davison-approved S-Works edition.

As a performance-oriented hardtail, the carbon fibre S-Works Fate frame is engineered to feature a rigid bottom bracket area for maximum power transfer when sprinting, a super-low standover height for confident handling, and also features shaped and vertically compliant seatstays to smooth the rough terrain ahead. Bedazzled with the sport’s most cutting edge components, The S-Works Fate stands alone atop of the line with a custom-tuned,

THE LEGENDARY TRAIL BIKE Not to toot our own horn, but when our full-suspension FSR bikes have won both Cross-Country and Downhill World Championships, it’s no surprise our STUMPJUMPER FSR combines the best of both of those worlds for the most versatile trail bike on the mountain. With the title “The Legendary Trail Bike” comes big-boy responsibility. And, year after year, the Stumpjumper FSR’s versatility is only matched by its popularity. It delivers the perfect bike for riders wanting world-class climbing efficiency, plus dialed geometry and suspension performance for descending technical singletrack.

Our S-Works Stumpjumper FSR is offered in 29er (130mm travel). It is the only model in the line equipped with the lightweight and ultra-stiff full-carbon frame, which is over 500g lighter than our M5 alloy version. The S-Works treatment continues with numerous upper-echelon components, such as the Kashima-coated Brain shock and Fox fork for friction-free suspension movement, while the superreliable Shimano XTR brakes

matt hunter: world traveller, bad-ass rider, and keeper of the job we all want.

SHUTTLES ARE FOR AIRPORTS Look closely at the all-new ENDURO. Would you believe mountain biking is, depending upon who you ask, only about 35 years old? When our fat tyre pioneers were clunking about on beach cruisers, we know in the back of their minds they envisioned riders someday cresting breathtaking back-country peaks with a flipside of seemingly endless ripples of challenging downhill terrain. The bike they dreamed about is the Enduro — the ultimate AllMountain weapon. Whether underneath Matt Hunter during one of his legendary (and envy-inducing) adventures, or equipped with a number plate poised to conquer the Megavalanche stage race, the Enduro is unmatched in All-Mountain capability.

With an all-new, carbon “X-Wing” frame and 165mm of travel the S-Works Enduro is designed and engineered to be the lightest-weight and mostefficient pedaling All-Mountain machine we’ve ever made — specifically refined to be the ultimate Enduro-style race bike. Although it’s gotten a bump up in travel, the S-Works Enduro drops weight and is 725g lighter than other carbon bikes in the line. Along with an all-new frame, the S-Works treatment

Two-time World Champion, Troy Brosnan , takes flight aboard his carbon S-Works Demo 8.

IT’S ABOUT TIME Downhill racing is the Formula 1 of mountain biking. It is the proving ground for innovation and new technologies, and fractions of seconds determine DH superstars from also-rans. The riders have the rare combination of skill, wit, and self-confidence required to aggressively navigate the world’s most dangerous terrain. However, these traits alone don’t instill assurance into the fragile mind of a racer — he must believe in his equipment. Developed with input from Monster Energy/Specialized factory racers Sam Hill and Troy Brosnan, the WorldChampionship-winning DEMO 8 is built from the ground up to be the best-handling downhill bike in the sport. With eight inches of rear wheel travel, DH tuned FSR suspension, and a low center of gravity, the Demo 8 delivers the performance and peace of mind downhill racers depend on to reach their potential. Our pursuit to provide our factory racers with the most technologically advanced downhill machine has culminated in an unprecedented race bike. The S-Works Demo 8 Carbon Team Replica shattered the norm for downhill bikes, as it blends the light weight and toughness of carbon fibre with one-off, custom-developed components normally only found on dream bikes of the world’s elite racers. The complete S-Works Demo 8 is 2.3 pounds lighter than

Four-time Paris-Roubaix winner, Tom boonen , proves once again that smoother is faster over the cobbles.

SMOOTHER IS FASTER Paris-Roubaix is the stuff of legend. Visions of steely men, caked with dust and grime, pitted against the ancient cobbles and surviving. Of pavé so rough, so hellish, skeletons rattle and teeth practically detach from their moorings. And at the end of it all, it’s somehow fitting the winner is presented with, well, a rock. 2012 saw Tom Boonen claim this hallowed cobble for a record 4th time aboard his trusted S-Works ROUBAIX SL4, a bike inspired by and built for roads such as this. But saying this bike “eats cobbles for breakfast” is only half the story.

The S-Works Roubaix eats ANY road for breakfast — pothole riddled, gravel sprayed, you name it. This road warrior consistently delivers that sharp handling, quick acceleration and smooth ride it’s famous for. With its size-specific engineering — ensuring all riders get the same ride experience regardless of their size — the Roubaix gives the best balance of vertical compliance, low weight and lateral stiffness. A nimble, highspec steed, and now equipped with the all-new COBL GOBL-R

RUBY REBORN Some bikes have it in their DNA. That yearning for long, exploratory rides, where boundaries and abilities are tested; where long, intense climbs are rewarded with fast, thrilling descents; and intriguing lines on the map are committed to memory. The Ruby has this DNA (and has for 5 years), but on the 10th anniversary of the first ever Specialized women’s bike, we’ve not only given this pure-bred endurance machine a new lease on life, we’re re-introducing the high-end S-Works RUBY to the line. The approach to this crème de la crème edition has been simple: take the amazing, fatigue-free ride the Ruby is known for, and infuse it with pro-level components plus the S-Works racing spirit.

From a design perspective, the Ruby features revised women’s geometry, refined engineering, and a finessed aesthetic. Our engineers explored and perfected a new triple monocoque process; allowing them to meet all weight, stiffness and compliance targets, plus experiment with the all-new integrated seat collar. The S-Works Ruby is the smoothest and most comfortable ride out there, and delivers inspired handling to all who seek to go long. Gran Fondos, long training rides, jaunts in the mountains with friends — and let’s

World Champion, Green Jersey winner and worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest sprinter, Mark Cavendish .

MORE BIKE THAN AERO The S-Works VENGE is a bike built for true finish line juggernauts. Ever since our Director of Advanced R&D, Chris D’Aluisio, had the inspired idea to merge the trusted stiffness and responsiveness of a Tarmac with the aerodynamic qualities of a Shiv in ‘09, the Venge has never looked back. It’s too busy winning to look back. You could call merging the properties of two bikes “Frankenstein-ing”, but don’t forget Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster, and in its first season of racing the Venge carved through the Pro Tour with all the precision of a surgeon. In the right hands (and with the legs of an athlete like Cavendish), the Venge is a slippery missile.

It’s a bike that lights the fuse of many a pro rider in a sprint, and just how it does so is due to a laundry list of awesome. The lightweight, FACT 11r frame is light, stiff, and totally aero, delivering a measured 22 watts of free power at 40km/hr, when compared to the Tarmac SL3. Additional aero features, including integrated top cap, bladed seatpost, and cambered airfoil seatstays, means riders can carve through the air with confidence. Sure, the Venge may have started its life as

Alberto Contador attacks on stage 17 of the Vuelta a Espa単a.

NOTHING IS LIGHTER AND STIFFER On the cover of “How to Deliver a Devastating Blow to the Peloton” (if such a guide exists), there’s an image of the S-Works TARMAC SL4. It’s a two part guide: Part 1) Attack Like a Pro, and Part 2) Rehearsing Your Victory Salute. All joking aside, the Tarmac has long been the go-to bike of the pro peloton, racking up a bevy of wins throughout its career. It’s a bike that gives confidence a face, as evidenced by Alberto Contador’s precise and thrilling attacks throughout the Vuelta a España this year. Few could argue against the composure and confidence Contador exhibited with his sudden and explosive attacks that left the peloton wondering: is he foxing, or is he really feeling that good? That’s the confidence a Tarmac can bring.

Its success in the Classics can be attributed to our engineers never losing sight of the goal: to ensure athletes have the lightest and stiffest bike available. This year’s version sees the FACT IS carbon frame deliver an increased 19% stiffness-to-weight ratio over the previous Tour de France-winning SL3. Superior acceleration, efficient performance, sharp responsive handling, the perfect blend of weight and stiffness, and the power to deliver devastating blows to other riders — that’s what an S-Works Tarmac can

La FlĂ¨che Wallonne FĂŠminine champion, Evelyn Stevens , brings home the win.

NOTHING IS LIGHTER AND STIFFER The S-Works AMIRA SL4 is a fist of fury in an extremely elegant glove. When wielded with real pro precision — and pure, grit-it-out determination, as Evelyn Stevens showed when storming home at La Flèche Wallonne Féminine this season — it can leave a debris field of dashed hopes in its wake. Born to race, it punches through the peloton with an air of graceful confidence and is as adapt at sprinting as it is at cornering. As the bike of choice for Team Specialized-lululemon, it has shown its race face in many a victory this season, dominating the US and world stage.

It’s little wonder. Thanks to its stiff and lightweight SL4 frame, the Amira is quick to react and cover a breakaway or fast acceleration, while the tapered headtube delivers precise steering and handling, be it in speedy crits or bombing down technical descents. Evie describes the new SL4 as having the ability to “make you feel like you’re a better rider.” She’s already pretty kick-ass, so imagine what it can do for your next race.

2011 Ironman World Champion, Craig “Crowie” Alexander , en-route to setting a new course record in Kona.

AERO, FUEL, FIT In the gladiatorial battle that is triathlon, 13 seconds faster is significant. Thirteen minutes on the other hand, is mind-blowing. Naysayers may question aerodynamic claims, but this number is indisputable: The first year Craig “Crowie” Alexander rode the S-Works SHIV at Kona, he slashed 13 minutes off his bike leg. He’d be the first to say that this huge improvement — having been Mr. Consistency in past years in all three legs — is due in large part to the absolute aerodynamic supremacy of his Shiv.

Anyone can benefit from the numerous advantages this tri-weapon delivers. Crosswinds are practically neutralized, care of the completely non-UCI legal, 4:1 FACT carbon frame and optimised rear wheel airflow. In a nutshell, we’re talking better airflow attachment for a smaller wake and lower drag, without sacrificing power. In fact, you may feel like you’re hitting Mach 2 all the way to T2, but we figure you’re OK with that. Hydration issues are handled elegantly with the integrated Fuelselage™

Time Trial World Champion, Tony Martin , slices through the wind aboard his Shiv.

WORLD CHAMPION SPEED It’s not called the ‘race of truth’ for nothing. It doesn’t matter how many hours spent in development, honing athlete positions, refining aerodynamics and design, it all comes down to three simple things — body, bike, clock. Truth can mean victory, but for us, it’s also validation. Real “Proof is in the pudding” time. Have we created the perfect 1/3 of that equation — the best, most confidence-inspiring Time Trial bike ever? Will our athletes pilot their S-Works SHIV TTs all the way to the podium? For Tony Martin, the answer in 2012 was a resounding yes, as he once again stamped his foot on the throat of the TT World Championship title.

The Shiv TT represents the incredible talent and hard work of our design and engineering teams. It cheats the wind, yet breaks no laws. In fact, the Shiv TT has nothing but respect for the law, particularly when it comes to aerodynamics. The incredibly stiff, S-Works FACT 11r frame boasts a fully integrated cockpit and aero tubeshaping, while the S-Works FACT carbon fork features crosswind-optimised airfoils for precise steering and max speed.

So imagine how he felt, tuning in to the live stream of the Tour of Qatar in February, days after the team handed Tom Boonen a pair of white prototypes (prototypes affectionately and secretly dubbed “Angel Slippers”, because people put them on and fly away from the group). He blinked a few times to make sure he was seeing what he was seeing. Yep. Tommeke was wearing the prototypes in the stage. In the race he went on to win. Rob tried to take a picture. This feeling…was it pride? Was it shock? A bit of both, really. “To realize he’d worn the shoes and felt so confident in the early prototype, I mean he was obviously getting the right feelings through the shoe and the bike. I was smiling. It felt good.” This feeling Rob’s describing — the natural transfer of energy from your body through to the bike when you pedal — that’s the power of connection. And that’s what this all-new shoe gives you.

THE PROCESS The 2013 S-Works Road Shoe has been built from the ground up. After thirty-seven prototypes, thousands of hours of development, research and testing, we added hundreds of hours of real-world testing mapped to different riding styles. Tom Boonen, classics and sprinting specialist to the feisty climbing prowess and GC panache of Alberto Contador. All had their own pair of “Angel Slippers.” It has arrived: the final, groundbreaking, S-Works Road Shoe. This has undoubtedly been the most comprehensive process and widest product investigation ever undertaken to develop a shoe. Over the past two years, nothing has escaped the team’s intense scrutiny. Everything from material properties to manufacturing techniques have been under the microscope. The process has been groundbreaking; resulting in the selection of more innovative materials that enhance fit and power transfer, the introduction of cutting-edge construction technologies such as laser upper cut construction, and the incorporation of manufacturing efficiencies that produce a more consistent fit. The result? The lightest, stiffest, and most perfectly fitting shoe we’ve ever made. Experience the Power of Connection with the all-new S-Works Road Shoe.

S-WORKS +MCLAREN TT HELMET >

“Our job is to squeeze out every last drop of free speed for our riders. Then squeeze more.” - Chris Yu, Specialized Aerodynamicist

Drag is a serious business. Athletes know it, we know it, and the team of aerodynamic experts at McLaren definitely knows it. When it came to designing a game-changing TT helmet, we once again turned to McLaren to bring their F1-winning aerodynamic knowledge and expertise to the project. This process has yielded the stealthiest of fruit — the drag-defying, wind-cheating S-Works +McLaren TT Helmet. Put simply: this helmet is the fastest aerodynamic cycling helmet in the world. The result of an unprecedented investment in wind tunnel hours, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling, and rider testing, it has taken our ability to measure and tune aerodynamics to a new level. This is not iteration: this is a breakthrough in how we will approach aerodynamics in the future. Through this, our second collaboration with team at McLaren, we have adopted new and better ways of interpreting data from the tunnels and from CFD analysis. Together, we were able to apply their world-class aerodynamic knowledge and computational expertise to the unique needs of professional cycling, with the goal of making racers faster by reducing one of their greatest obstacles: air itself. The S-Works +McLaren TT Helmet can save nearly a minute over a 40km time trial or triathlon leg. Who doesn’t want free speed like that?

DISSIDENT The Dissident was created with lofty goals — to make a helmet 100 grams lighter and more ventilated than the current leading model, plus exceed all of the consumer safety standards associated with downhill bicycle helmets. From the bike park to the race course, the Dissident is designed to protect riders who push the limits of downhill speed and big air. The carbon fibre Dissident is super-lightweight and incorporates cutting edge safety features to give riders the confidence to push the boundaries of mountain biking. We designed the Dissident to be compatible with neck braces, and the Shock Doctor Eject helmet removal system that is currently mandatory in motocross; complete with routing for the inflation tubing. While we were developing the helmet, we also wanted to make it as safe as possible for when the helmet needed to be removed by medical personnel. To accomplish this, we developed a proprietary snap-in/slide out system to allow the cheekpads to be removed while the rider is still wearing it. Our system works very well, and doesn’t have the weight and cost penalties of using other methods to keep pads in place. In addition to premium safety and comfort, to make the Dissident the total package of performance and flair, with close attention given to the aesthetic design. The Dissident has you covered for both speed and style.

PROTECTION Our EMT Removal System integrated right into the Dissident’s liner and shell. Cheek pads are simple to remove with the helmet still in place because of special built-in release channels. In a crash situation, medical personnel can slide off the helmet without disturbing the rider’s head and neck. EJECT AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPATIBLE First developed for motorcycle helmets, the Dissident’s Eject System (sold separately) uses an inflatable airbag under the liner that allows helmet removal without straining the neck. SPEAKER COMPATIBLE Enjoy your favorite music while ripping up the bike park with integrated cable routing for headphones and ear buds.

S-WORKS SADDLES >

An athlete’s race rig is a carefully dialed piece of machinery. Nothing is overlooked when preparing for battle, including the choice of saddle. Weight and comfort — two critical elements — play a part in this selection, and S-Works saddles are the high end of the food chain. Scientifically developed and medically tested, our saddles are rider- and position-specific, meaning you can find a saddle that can reduce fatigue, and deliver more power and endurance on the ride. Specialized saddles are finding their place once again within the pro peloton, becoming the saddle of choice for many riders on some of the world’s top teams. World Time Trial Champion Tony Martin and Omega Pharma-Quick Step teammate, Sylvan Chavanel, both trust in the S-Works Romin, a saddle that delivers optimal power transfer with its contoured position, and features an extra-wide BodyGeometry channel to maximize blood flow. Taking the minimalist approach, the S-Works Toupé, is an ultra-light BodyGeometry saddle with flat profile and thin padding. It’s practically a launch pad for all-out efforts — just ask Francesco Chicchi, who left the peloton in his wake at the Tour de San Luis earlier this year. And don’t forget the S-Works Chicane, designed with and ridden to victory by Tom Boonen. It packs all the reliability of a traditional curved shape with comfort and power transfer qualities pros rely on.

THE RIGHT WIDTH AND SHAPE Performance-minded riders typically prefer an aggressive position. We focus on designing a wide-range of saddle widths and shapes that are optimised for body type, position, and sit-bone width, to help reduce pressure of soft tissue and increase comfort whatever your riding style. SCIENTIFICALLY DEVELOPED, MEDICALLY TESTED A poorly designed saddle causes numbness and sore spots. We work with ergonomics expert Dr. Minkow and our team of BodyGeometry fitters to create innovative saddles that include grooves and cutouts to reduce pressure and increase blood flow for riders, all while providing outstanding comfort and support.

S-WORKS PURGATORY tyre LIGHTER WEIGHT, FASTER ROLLING, MAXIMUM TRACTION >

Through engineering and real-world testing, we’ve redesigned the Purgatory for maximum All-Mountain performance. It’s built around a large volume, 2.3-inch width — for both 26-inch and 29er versions. By applying Finite Element Analysis we have improved traction, increased grip and reduced rolling resistance.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS We’re the only tyre designers who use Finite Element Analysis to explore and test tyre tread patterns. We’ll throw virtual forces at a specific tyre knob structure to see how it reacts and performs on various terrain simulations — from rocky singletrack to a simulated high-speed descent.

The structure of each individual knob is optimised for both speed and traction.

A soft 50a shoulder rubber compound for cornering bite is combined with a longer-wearing and faster 60a center compound.

Purgatory S-Works and Control are 2Bliss ready.

Purgatory is also available in a GRID UST version.

S-WORKS TURBO CLINCHER Zero compromise, exceptional performance and podium ready, the S-Works Turbo is the weapon of choice for an epic day in the Alps or the blistering speeds of a sprint. We believe this is the fastest, best handling race tyre ever, with lower rolling resistance, faster cornering, and excellent handling with less chance of punctures. We strive to create tyres that are fast, handle better, and are right for the conditions at hand. To do this, we run thousands of computer simulations, test with the most demanding riders, and seek inspiration from a wide range of sources such as automotive tyre research and wind tunnel aerodynamics.

FSR SUSPENSION MAXIMUM COMFORT, CONTROL, AND EFFICIENCY By effectively isolating chain and brake loads while climbing and descending, FSR technology delivers more comfort, control, and efficiency than any other suspension design. Through our nearly 20-year progression of FSR we’ve been able to tune the ride to match the experience. The result: The same FSR technology that helps Jaroslav Kulhavy capture Olympic XC Gold in London, Troy Brosnan uses to crush the World Cup Downhill circuit.

THE SPECIALIZED 29ER ADVANTAGE Not all mountain bikes with 29-inch wheels are created equally. We build our 29ers to be the most confident handling, fastest rolling, and most fun on the trail. This means whether you are racing to a World Championship like Jaroslav Kulhavy or hitting the singletrack with your buddies, you get a ride that is unparalleled by any other bike.

FLOAT OVER OBSTACLES

S-WORKS SPECIALIZED 29ER ADVANTAGE

29-inch wheels “float” over rocks, roots and sand; which gives the rider more control. ROLL OVER BUMPS Thanks to a 6.1% lower angle over a 130mm bump, 29-inch wheels don’t get hung up on roots, rocks or ruts.

BOOST CONTROL The way a 29er tyre contacts the ground is different than another wheel size, feeling very positive, which translates directly to increased control. REAL-WORLD SPEED Once rolling, a 29er wheel maintains momentum much better than the standard 26-inch. MOST-RESPONSIVE HANDLING We keep our chainstays short on all our 29er frames, so the rear triangle remains stiff for a responsive ride. We also use shorter, tapered head tubes to keep the front end low for agile and controlled handling.

FACT CARBON What is FACT? Otherwise known as Functional Advanced Composite Technology, FACT represents our holistic approach to working with composites. Like any project at Specialized, it’s based on the needs of the rider. Once we determine rider needs, we apply critical disciplines to achieve design targets with our FACT bikes and equipment. What’s the result of the FACT process? Superior carbon bikes and equipment delivering real-world performance benefits for the rider.

SMOOTHER IS FASTER MORE CONTROL, LESS FATIGUE, HIGHER SPEEDS It’s a simple concept, and one we’ve been pushing for a long time. “Smoother is Faster” originated with our FSR suspension, but we quickly applied the same logic to the road through bikes like the Roubaix and Ruby — as well as an ever-expanding range of equipment. After multiple victories at Paris-Roubaix on the S-Works Roubaix, pros and pro-level athletes alike continue to validate the performance benefits of a smoother ride.

HOW IT WORKS ZERTZ VIBRATION DAMPING Zertz viscoelastic dampers in the fork and seatstays filter vibrations from the road, so your body doesn’t have to. SIZE-SPECIFIC ENGINEERING ON THE ROUBAIX SL4 Developing specific frames and forks together creates the right amount of compliance and lateral stiffness for riders of different sizes. 23/25C tyres AND COBL GOBL-R SEATPOST The extra volume of the 25c tyres increases suppleness, and decreases rolling resistance for a smoother ride. Adding a COBL GOBL-R post takes the concept of “Smoother is Faster” even further and provides unsurpassed comfort, control, and efficiency.

Omega Pharma-Quick Step wins the Team Time Trial World Championship.

AERODYNAMICS Our approach to aerodynamics is simple: innovative design, meticulous engineering, and relentless testing modeled against real world situations. It’s a process that begins and ends with the athlete, and in between, there’s a whole lot of science going on. Whether you’re a TT specialist, triathlete, or pro road rider, the process of developing the world’s best aerodynamic products — bikes, wheels, helmets — is universal. Start with the athlete. Finish with the athlete. Assume nothing, test everything. It’s a process that continues to yield results and advance our aero program. This consistent product development process in aerodynamics has seen the Shiv, Shiv TT and Venge reach victorious, wind-cheating heights on the world stage, and this year we’ve added the S-Works +McLaren TT helmet to the fold. Its meteoric rise and total complement to existing aero products was never more apparent than at the World Championships, with Tony Martin’s ITT victory, and the dual victories of Omega Pharma-Quick Step and Team Specialized-lululemon in the TTT. All riding Shiv TTs and all wearing the distinctive S-Works +McLaren TT. It just goes to show, when you have the best engines in the world, on the best bikes in the world, with the best helmets in the world, great things happen.

STEP 2: DETERMINE TEST MECHANISMS In order to replicate the conditions we want to test, we determine if new fixtures or test methods are needed. In the case of the S-Works +McLaren TT, we took time to develop a new mannequin for wind tunnel testing, plus identified the capabilities of our ideal test facilities. Ultimately, we demand consistent and repeatable conditions over the course of testing for all our aerodynamic products.

STEP 4: TEST IN THE WINDTUNNEL Bikes, helmets, wheels — they all put their noses into the wind in the wind tunnel to test their drag properties under varying conditions. Headwinds, crosswinds, tailwinds; during testing for the TT helmet, 60 prototypes made an appearance in our real-world simulations over 8 days. Refinements stemming from CFD were also tested during this phase. STEP 5: END WITH THE ATHLETE With final prototypes and first products in hand, we bring the product to the athlete for continuous real-world application. When you present them with compelling data — the numbers to back up the talk, we can help them believe in the science and adopt the product.
