2020 Specialized Venge Pro Disc SRAM Force eTap AXS Mens Road Bike

Gloss Teal Tint/Black Reflective

Specialized live and breathe aero as they know that aerodynamic optimisation is the most important thing to make you go faster. This philosophy has never been more true than with the Venge. Eight seconds faster than the ViAS, it's not only the most aerodynamic bike on the road but it's also an incredible 460 grams. It's the perfect race bike for just about any terrain.

As with all of Specialized's pro-level bikes, the Venge Pro eTAP delivers a similar performance to its older S-Works sibling, but at a more attractive price. SRAM's new Force eTAP AXS 12-speed groupset handles shift and braking duties, while the Roval CL 50 carbon fibre wheels slice through the wind. With the additions of an S-Works handlebar and seatpost, as well as the fan-favourite Power saddle, you're 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 Specialized Win Tunnel but the FreeFoil Shape Library, a new piece of technology. Egineers wrote an optimisation algorithm and utilised a supercomputer to help create new airfoil shapes with different weights, surface areas, and structural targets. With this library of shapes, Specialized could then plug them into the different parts of the bike and test a variety of configurations to determine the fastest setup in the Win Tunnel. It turned out that, compared to the Venge ViAS, the new Venge is eight seconds faster over 40km at zero degrees of yaw. It's also faster out on the road in all wind conditions, not just in the tunnel.
• Striking the perfect combination of weight and aerodynamics plays a crucial role in a bike’s overall performance. So, not only was the Venge made more aero than the ViAS but 460 grams was taken out of the module weight. This means a saving of 240g in the frame, 25g in the fork, 107g in the cockpit, 25g in the seatpost, and 63g in small parts. No matter the course, the Venge will prove to be the fastest option when you need to go either up or down.
• Much of the Rider-First Engineered™ discoveries from the new Tarmac's development were implemented, like different layup schedules and materials, and this culminated in a Venge that’s not only lighter, but one that also has a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio and 40% more compliance than the ViAS, no matter the frame size. While you can't always see these changes, all it takes is one ride to feel the quick accelerations and the bump-eating compliance.
• SRAM's new Force eTAP AXS brings a whole new level of shifting to the road. It's 12-speed setup is not only crisp and extremely quiet, but with the help of a 10-tooth cog, it has a gear range unlike any other road group.
