Specialized Venge Elite Road Bike 2016

Specialized Venge Elite Road Bike 2016

Getting you ever closer to that top spot on the podium, the Specialized Venge Elite Road Bike 2016 is a superb aerodynamic high performance machine.

With a wind tunnel tested and optimised frameset, handlebars and seatpost, this bike cuts through the air like no other. This aero prowess is coupled with the reliability and smooth shifting of Shimano's 105 11-speed system. This drivetrain, alongside the high-quality Praxis Works TURN Zayante crankset, ensures smooth and powerful pedalling.

Fulcrum have provided the wheels for this race machine in the form of their Racing S5 model. These fast rolling wheels have a strong and reliable braking surface and a rim profile that makes them ideal for all-round terrain and performance.

Specialized's much sought after Power Comp saddle sits atop the aerodynamic Venge seatpost, providing lasting comfort and road noise dampening so you can concentrate on putting the power through the pedals.

A fast bike like this deserves an eye-catching paint scheme and that is exactly what the Venge Elite has, with hyper green and red accents that ooze speed, performance and confidence.

Features:

• FACT 10r carbon frame provides the ideal blend of light overall weight, stiffness, and responsiveness. And with aero-optimised tubing, a compact race design, and a tapered head tube, the frame is effectively optimised for aero performance.

• The full monocoque FACT carbon fork is wind-tunnel-optimised, and provides the stiffness and steering response needed for hard out of the saddle efforts.

• The durable, smooth-rolling characteristics of the Fulcrum S5 wheelset provide reliable and responsive feedback for everything from sprinting to cruising along the flats.

• The TURN Zayante crankset by Praxis Works is a tough and reliable performer that ensures years of worry-free performance and quality shifting.

• Specialized S-Works Aerofly carbon handlebars combine all of the stiffness you need for hard out of the saddle efforts with an aerodynamically optimised profile that saves you precious seconds against the wind.
