Ceepo Shadow - Storm Grey

Speed by Design
Ceepo Shadow continues its quest for aerodynamic solutions by adopting and refining the unconventional “Beam” frame design. An uncommon approach that ignores tradition in in favor of unparalleled performance.

Aero gains in the details: The cutting edge Toray carbon chassis reduces drag by removing the leading edge of the  seat tube, down tube and seat stays to provide unparalleled aerodynamics. The “beam” enhances comfort, by dampening vibrations, increases stiffness and power transfer while delivering a stable handling platform for an elite level long-course performance. In addition, the Shadow takes full advantage of the frame space to integrate above and below smart onboard storage. A hidden “bento” box with ample storage for nutrition is carefully tucked into the top tube while a tool box is hidden in low and centered, tucked away from sidewinds. With stiffness added to the head tube, downtube and bottom bracket, the Shadow still handles as you would expect a bike to handle, yet with enhanced speed dynamics.

Specialist:  Shadow is an elite long-course triathlon specialist engineered for acceleration and sustained speed. Years in the making, the award-winning Shadow leverages CEEPO’s decade of experimentation and innovation making exceptional aerodynamic solutions for racing. The result: an unabashedly pure aero superbike designed to produce the highest level of performance outcomes for those who put everything on the line.

Frame: The centerpiece of the Shadow is the otherworldly carbon chassis, a sleek yet robust revelation in carbon layup technology with industry Japanese Toray T1000 and Optimal Strength and Modulus Carbon (OSMC) shaped in such a way to displace airflow evenly across the body allowing the Shadow to defy the wind. The frame offers impressive power transfer, transforms every pedal stroke into forward motion.

Details: R&D took NDD (non-double diamond) frame design, commonly referred to as I-Beam, and refined the concept for the race day. Cutting-edge Toray carbon chassis removes the leading edge of the seat tube and stays to significantly reduce drag, enhance comfort and stiffness for long-course pursuits. The complex design amplifies every aerodynamic advantage. Signature truncated airfoils eliminate leading edges while the continuous beam funnels airflow across the centerline, smoothing out turbulence and therefore reducing drag. The fork design is widely spaced to provide clearance up to 28mm. Be fast, but comfortable. The shape of the fork seamlessly integrates with the frame to further reduce headwind turbulence.

Cable integration: For 2024, speed and aero dynamics are dramatically enhanced with front end cable integration. With full or semi-integrated cables, head wind turbulence is greatly reduced while giving the frame a clean and elegant aesthetic. Shadow is compatible with both industry and custom house aerobar design. With a cable free front end, hydration solutions are even easier to adapt to rider preference as well. 

Geometry: The Shadow blends speed, power and efficiency, allowing riders to focus on performance and avoid wasting any energy. While the frameset itself is a powerhouse, the nuanced details are where the Shadow enhances race proficiency. The long and low geometry allows extraordinary aerodynamic rider positioning.  Paired with a reversible seat post and a front end that has industry wide compatibility with aerobars, athletes can refine their position on the bike for optimal personalized aerodynamics. Athletes can get low and comfortable for a sleek profile that allows for sustained power output.

Hidden, easy access storage:  Convenient integrated on-board nutrition storage allows for energy smart fueling, minimizing movements that could expend caloric energy as well as disrupt the airflow. Athletes can access nutrition on the fly via a “bento” box seamlessly integrated into the top tube. In case of on course repair needs, a tool box is hidden low at the center of the frame in the kammtail airfoil. This easy access tool box allows athletes to carry what they need to make repairs on the fly, but keep the weight low and centered.

Simple Assembly and Travel: And yet, as a bike designed for the demands of elite level racing, the Shadow is easily disassembled and assembled for transportation to and from destination events. Serviceability is simplified by the fact that Shadow takes off the shelf, easy to find parts. So much bike, yet all you need is a multitool.
