Triathlon frames average price

As a general rule of thumb, you should always read reviews about the frame and its components before buying it to ensure you don’t pay too much.

Overview of components

Fork material

The fork on this frame is made out of carbon, so, it is super light and stiff. In conclusion, a carbon fork gives you great control when steering, and is also more forgiving.

Brakes

For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Specialized Shiv Pro Frameset has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, they are not nearly as effective as hydraulic brakes are.

Sizes

Specialized Shiv Pro Frameset 2016 is available in one size only. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
