March 17, 2011 – Today, we’re honored to introduce the newest family of bikes in the Specialized line-up: the Venge. When we set out to design the Venge, we wanted to create the fastest complete performance bike in the world. Until now, aerodynamic road bikes have sacrificed too much of the bike – too much stiffness lost, too much weight added. We simply weren’t willing to compromise.

Creating the world’s fastest UCI-legal road bike required a new formula for lightweight, stiffness, and aerodynamics. Specialized left the world of cycling and took the Venge to McLaren, where we applied the materials, technology, and manufacturing methods normally reserved for a different kind of racing. We knew this bike needed to combine the wind cheating elements of the Shiv with the stiffness and lightweight aspects of the Tarmac.

Today, our stiffness testing, weight numbers, and wattage testing all confirm that we achieved something that, until now, had never been done before. It’s more bike than aero.

Please take some time to read through our micro-site, as well as the attached dealer kit. In Canada, we can expect delivery June/ July.
