Product Details

The Venge Expert's competition-crushing combo of Tarmac-inspired stiffness and light weight with Shiv-inspired aerodynamics makes this pure race machine truly more bike than aero. Shimano Ultegra components and Roval Rapide 35 aero wheels are ready to race.

FACT IS 10r Aero Race Design, carbon frame with one-piece carbon OSBB/chainstay, internal cable routing, and tapered head tube assembly is light, stiff, and stealthy
UCI-legal, carbon fork with 3:1 airfoil shaping and straight profile for best combination of aerodynamics and stiffness
Brand new Rapide AL 35 semi-aero wheels are super fast and light--perfect for crits, triathlons, or high mileage training
FSA SL-K Light carbon BB30 crank is stiff and light for excellent power transfer, with 52x36t configuration for efficiency on any terrain
Shimano Ultegra 10-speed shifters are lightweight and laser accurate
New Body Geometry Romin Evo Comp carbon-reinforced saddle with hollow Cr-Mo rails features contoured profile and turned-down nose for comfort and power in aggressive position
Stiff, light, UCI-legal, bladed carbon seatpost flips between 20mm and 0mm setback, also wide range of vertical adjustability
