COMPREHENSIVE NUTRITION/HYDRATION SYSTEM
WHATFuelselage, is a fully integrated, aerodynamic fuel station, while the frame-mounted Fuelcell is for nutrition and flat storage. The Tri-pod is for additional hydration.
WHYTraditional tube-mounted water bottle setups and storage concepts cause major airflow disturbance. The Fuelselage has no effect on the frame’s aerodynamics, and offers safe, easy, on-the-fly hydration, while the Fuelcell stores gels and bars in the soft upper and flat storage in the lower. Tri-pod on Sitero provides additional water bottle storage behind the rider.
HOWFUELSELAGE: A removable hydration reservoir (approximate capacity of one water bottle) easily fits through a port on the toptube, and fits neatly inside the downtube. The reservoir can be refilled directly through the port without need for removal, even on the fly. FUELCELL: Mounts in the frame “V” for aero qualities and holds 8 gels or two bars and 4 gels in top, basic tools in bottom section. TRI-POD: Integrated Tri-pod (Sitero mounted) can carry additional water bottle behind you.
FACT CARBON AERO FRAME
WHATIncredibly aerodynamic, crosswind-optimized, non UCI-legal FACT carbon frame with internal cable routing, OSBB, and Fuelselage integrated hydration system; available in five sizes.
WHYTo 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.
HOWBy ignoring UCI rules that don’t pertain to tri anyway, we were able to design extra-deep airfoil tubing and fork (up to 6:1 ratios), and a massive headtube. These tubes dramatically improve airflow over the standard 3:1 ratio tubing, and designing each area of tubing separately allowed us to optimize them for the specific airflow. Finally all areas are optimized for crosswinds, more typical than straight-on headwinds, especially in tri.
"The perfect all-out cross-country race bike. - 5 Stars"

"Once again, I ride away feeling that for XC and endurance racing, there's no better bike out there."

I have been riding Specialized bikes for the past 3 years and there is undoubtedly no going back. I have never found a product that delivers on this level every time. Looks fast feels great. Congratulations to specialized...you did it again.

Yes, I recommend this product.
