With its no-compromise formula of ultralight weight, exceptional stiffness, and stealthy aerodynamics, the Venge created an entirely new road category: Complete Performance. Throw in Pro Tour-proven SRAM Red components, and this bike will elevate you—and teams Astana and Saxo Bank—to a whole new level.
UCI-legal, FACT IS 11r Aero Race Design, full-monocoque carbon frame with one piece carbon OSBB/chainstay, internal cable routing, and tapered head tube provides the complete performance formula for weight, stiffness, and aerodynamics
UCI-legal, carbon fork with 3:1 airfoil shaping and straight profile for best combination of aerodynamics and stiffness; carbon dropouts with co-molded steel inserts for added durability
Ultralight Roval Rapide SL 45 wheelset with carbon/alloy hybrid rims for low aerodynamic drag with the durability of an alloy brake track
Specialized S-Works FACT carbon crankset with OSBB, removable carbon spider, and ceramic bearings has the highest strength-to-weight ratio for unparalleled efficiency and power transfer
SRAM's pro tour-proven RED group is smooth and feather-light, featuring carbon shifters with "double tap" technology for simple, intuitive shifting and reach adjustment
New Body Geometry Romin Evo carbon-reinforced saddle with hollow Ti rails features contoured profile and turned-down nose for comfort and power in aggressive position
Stiff, light, UCI-legal, bladed carbon seatpost flips between 20mm and 0mm setback; also wide range of vertical adjustability
Individual taste may vary, but you won't find a better carbon frame out there. Not worth buying at the listed $8,000 so find one secondhand like I did.
