We've been really impressed with the latest generation Venge. In a nutshell: "Faster, lighter and better looking" (see more on the blog).
This S-Works build is the top of the range, built from Specialized's most advanced carbon fibre and with a superb selection of components as standard.
The Dura-Ace Di2 transmission is silky smooth and provides incredibly fast, accurate and reliable shifting with minimal effort (particularly important when tucked into that aero position).
The bottom bracket and the Roval carbon wheels run on CeramicSpeed bearings, the smoothest and most durable on the market. Specialized have a wealth of manufacturing experience in-house, but they're not afraid to partner with other industry leaders to ensure that you get every last bit of advantage.
Another welcome standard inclusion are the S-Works Power Cranks. Dual-sided power measurement? Yes we'll take that, thank you! We've always been fans of the S-Works carbon cranks, they're super stiff and beautifully made - this latest version adds power measurement as the icing on the cake.
All of these parts work in harmony on a thoroughly wind-tunnel tested frame that's finally added a dash of style and a welcome spot of extra comfort to the traditional Venge aggression.
