Specialized likes their road bikes… A LOT. So much so that they have their own wind tunnel aptly named the “Win Tunnel.” The reason is simple: an aerodynamic bike creates less drag and you expend less energy moving it along, so you can ride faster for longer. All of this testing, both in the Win Tunnel and on the road, resulted in a Venge with the least amount of drag of any bike out there.
The Venge Pro - SRAM eTAP AXS is the bike for someone who wants the best foundation on the road, but wants to save a little cash. The Fact 11 Venge frame is stiff and compliant and just like it’s S-Works sibling, slices through the air like a cream cheese laser. Combine that with SRAM’s eTAP AXS electronic drivetrain with its 10 tooth cog and magnificent gear range, and you have a bike that shifts as smoothly as it rides.
