The S-Works Venge ViAS Disc frameset is more than just a bike. When the
first Venge launched, it changed aerodynamics, but now, we've designed a
complete, cohesive speed system. Nearly every single piece of it was
redesigned from the ground up. Every facet was examined, and the result
is a bike with supreme braking and a 116-second advantage, compared to
the Tarmac, over 40km.
In our Win Tunnel, every tube shape, trailing edge, and design cue was
made with one objective in mindâspeed. It's also Rider-First Engineeredâ¢
to ensure that every frame size experiences uniform performance, plus
front-end stiffness was increased by 30% over the Tarmac.
One of its most striking features is the ViAS cockpit. As one of the
first elements to hit the wind, we realized that current stem and bar
offerings cause too much aerodynamic drag. To achieve the best solution,
while also interfacing with the frame, we found a negative 17-degree
stem was the best option. Most riders aren't flexible enough to ride in
such an aggressive position, though, so we designed the Aerofly bars
with a positive rise that replicates your most efficient position. This
resulted in a bike that has next-to-no visible cables.
Of course, this disc iteration changes the game, as it's ready to
provide undeniable stopping power without any penalty to the aerodynamic
profile, so you get powerful braking without any sacrifice.
