Description
This is a super rare Bora Hansgrohe World Tour Bike!
Aero really is everything and no race machine proves that more than the all-new Venge.
Specialized live and breathe aero, knowing that aerodynamic optimisation is the best thing to make you faster. The philosophy 'Aero is everything' has never been truer than with the new Venge. Being eight seconds faster than the ViAS, it’s not only the most aerodynamic bike on the road, but it’s also lost 460 grams. This is the new shape of speed.
The quest for the perfect tube shapes started with a new piece of technology, the FreeFoil Shape Library. Engineers wrote an optimisation algorithm and utilised a supercomputer to help create new airfoil shapes with different weights, surface areas, and structural targets. Armed with this library of shapes, all with different aspect ratios, Specialized could 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's also faster out on the road in all wind conditions, not just in the tunnel.
There are other factors that make the Venge more dynamic. Striking the perfect combination of weight and aerodynamics plays a crucial role in a bike’s overall performance. A bike that’s strictly aero will feel great on the flats, but it'll suffer on the climbs and in quick accelerations. A bike that’s strictly lightweight, however, will suffer on everything but the steepest climbs. So no matter the course, the Venge will prove to be the fastest option when you need to go up, down, and all around.
Much of this weight savings comes from the Rider-First Engineered™ tubes. Much of the discovery from the new Tarmac's development was 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. Whilst you can't always see these changes, all it takes is one ride to feel the quick accelerations and the bump-eating compliance.
The geometry was also updated, and now, it's based on over 40,000 Retül data points, as well as professional rider input. This enabled implementation of a Performance Road Geometry that perfectly combines a responsive front-end with a short wheelbase, and this delivers instantaneous response and optimal power transfer.
The Venge also houses some exciting new features. The new cockpit, developed in partnership with Specialized's World Tour teams, features a stem with a higher stiffness, new bars that are faster, lighter, stiffer, and feature a textured pattern on the tops for extra grip and control. Next up is tyre clearance - it has no problem clearing 32mm-wide tyres. Finally, a Shimano A-Junction has been put in the seatpost, making it easy to charge, check battery levels, and for team mechanics to make adjustments.
Condition
Bike is in fantastic condition with very few marks. The gear shifts are nice and crisp whilst the brakes are sharp. Smooth bearings all round including the bottom bracket, headset, hub and freehub bearings. Absolutely no cracks whatsoever.
