2020 Specialized Venge Pro SRAM Etap Carbon Mens Road Bike In Blue

Product Description

Hell, why do you think they have their own win tunnel & the motto that "aero is everything?", they live & breathe aero because they know that aerodynamic optimization is the most important thing they can do to make you faster. & this philosophy has never been truer than with this venge. Being eight seconds faster than the Vi AS, its not only the most aerodynamic bike on the road but its also lost a whopping 460 grams. Its the perfect race bike for just about any terrain. Aero is everything. As with all of their pro-level bikes the Venge Pro e Tap delivers similar performance to its older S-Works sibling, but at a more palatable price. Srams new Force e Tap AXS 12-speed groupset handles shift & braking duties, while the Roval cl 50 carbon fiber wheels slice through the wind. Top that off with an S-Works handlebar & seatpost as well as the fan-favorite power saddle & youre ready to tackle anything from a local road race to your first gran fondo. The quest for the perfect tube shapes didn’t start in the Win Tunnel, but instead, a new piece of technology—the Free Foil Shape Library. Their engineers wrote an optimization algorithm & utilized a supercomputer to help create new airfoil shapes with different weights, surface areas, & structural targets. Armed with this library of shapes, they could then plug them into the different parts of the bike & test a variety of configurations to determine the fastest setup in the Win Tunnel. The result? Compared to the Venge Vi AS, the new Venge is eight seconds faster over 40km at zero degrees of yaw. Its also faster out on the road in all wind conditions—not just in the tunnel. Striking the perfect combination of weight & aerodynamics plays a crucial role in a bike’s overall performance. So, not only did they make the Venge more aero than the Vi AS, but they also took 460 grams out of the module weight. This means theyve saved 240g in the frame, 25g in the fork, 107g in the cockpit, 25g in the seatpost, & 63g in small parts. So, no matter the course, the Venge will prove to be the fastest option when you need to go either up or down. They implemented much of the Rider-First Engineered™ discoveries from the new Tarmacs development, like different layup schedules & materials, & this culminated in a Venge that’s not only lighter, but one that also has a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio & 40% more compliance than the Vi AS—no matter the frame size. & while you cant always see these changes, all it takes is one ride to feel the quick accelerations & the bump-eating compliance. SRAMs new Force e TAP AXS brings a whole new level of shifting to the road. Its 12-speed setup is not only crisp & extremely quiet, but with the help of a 10-tooth cog, it has a gear range unlike any other road group.
