TriRig continues to be amazed at the caliber of athlete supporting our products. Last year we got the support of 5-time World Champion Craig Alexander, who contacted us with interest in our Omega brakes. We recently returned to the home of the 3-time Kona champ and 2-time 70.3 champ, to set him up with our new Omega X brakes. We chat with Crowie about what his year looks like, as well as the transition away from a Kona-centric life. See the gallery below for a detailed look at his 2015 Specialized Shiv race rig. Enjoy!
Craig Alexander, a.k.a. Crowie
Crowie is a five-time Ironman World Champion, with two 70.3 titles and three Kona crowns. He is undoubtedly one of the legends of the sport, and at age 42 is still racing as a high-level pro, but stepping back from the Kona-centric lifestyle he led for over a decade. TriRig is proud to have such a venerated champion riding the Omega X!

It's almost identical to his 2011 rig, and it's easy to see why. Crowie's Shiv is dialed in beautifully.

Crowie just won his third Kona title, ripping up the bike course on his new, state-of-the-art steed. Performance Advisor Mat Steinmetz gave me the scoop.

Seven year after the launch of the original Shiv Tri, Specialized has finally unveiled its successor. With VERY polarizing looks, and a number of interesting features, there's a lot to unpack here.

Although Specialized has not introduced a new bike since the Shiv was launched in 2011, Tim Don's rig caught our eye getting its last-minute tuneup before tomorrow's race.
