Fast & Furious Friday - VENGE EXPERT ULTEGRA



The days are getting longer and unfortunately right now not drier but we know that is right around the corner.  At night I have been watching the Giro d'Italia and Tour of California and those guys are pretty amazing at their profession.  If you want to ride a bike capable of performing to their standards then I would definitely check out the Specialized Venge Expert Ultegra:

The Venge is fast. Plain and simple. Behind it sits a myriad of science, testing, aerodynamic tweaking and design. What does all this mean for you? A bike that's faster in the flats, faster over rollers, and faster in sprints. The Venge will save you 22 watts over 40kp/hr compared to a Tarmac. Couple that with FACT carbon that's nearly as light as it is stiff and the only excuse you have for going slower are those things you're standing on.
  • UCI-legal, FACT 10r carbon frameset with one-piece carbon OSBB/chainstay, internal cable routing, and tapered headtube; full carbon monocoque fork with 3:1 airfoil shaping and straight profile for best combination of aerodynamics and stiffness
  • Roval Rapide SL35 wheelset offers a true aerodynamic advantage, while the wide internal rim width creates a better tire profile to deliver all-around performance
  • Specialized Turbo Pro 23c tires deliver an incredible package of light weight, low rolling resistance and superior traction, all with BlackBelt protection
  • FSA SL-K Light carbon BB30 crank is stiff and light for excellent power transfer
  • Romin Evo Expert saddle, with hollow Ti rails, delivers ergonomically designed, scientifically-proven Body Geometry features to allow riders to deliver power in low, aerodynamic positions
  • Stiff, light, UCI-legal, bladed carbon seatpost flips between 20mm and 0mm setback; plus a wide range of vertical adjustability

MSRP: $4,000.00 - To see all of our Venge inventory stop by the shop.  We are open from 10-6 Friday and Saturday.  This bike would be perfect to take out Sunday on our Spring 50 ride!
