2021 Specialized S-Works Venge Sagan Collection Frameset

2021 SPECIALIZED S-WORKS VENGE SAGAN COLLECTION : DECONSTRUCTIVISM FRAMESET
Sometimes an act of creation begins with an act of destruction. For the new Sagan Collection, the rainbow has been deconstructedbroken down to its core components to celebrate a rider defined by much more than rainbow stripes. As Peter begins a new season in search of more iconic victories, we begin with the absence of color on the fastest bike in the peloton. Or do we? Bring this S-Works Venge frameset into the sunlight and shimmering green highlights explode from beneath its stealthy exterior, a reminder of Peter's unprecedented success at Le Tour.

Surprisingly, our quest for the perfect tube shapes didn't start in the Win Tunnel. It started with a new piece of technology, the FreeFoil Shape Library. Our engineers wrote an optimization algorithm and utilized a supercomputer (yes, we used an actual supercomputer) to help create new airfoil shapes with different weights, surface areas, and structural targets. Armed with this library of shapes, all with different aspect ratios, we could plug them into the different parts of the bike and test a variety of configurations to determine the fastest setup in the Win Tunnel.

Compared to the fastest aero road bike to date (the Venge ViAS), and many others in the space that we won't name here, the new Venge is eight seconds faster over 40km at zero degrees of yaw. It's also faster out on the road in all wind conditionsnot just in the tunnel. *All bikes were tested with the same fit dimensions, and with the following componentsRoval CLX 64 wheels, Turbo Cotton 26mm tires, Shimano's newest Di2 groupset, two water bottles, an S-Works Power saddle, and their respective spec'd cockpits.

And while it's cool that the new Venge is more aero, there are other factors to fast. Striking the perfect combination of weight and aerodynamics plays a crucial role in a bike's overall performance. A bike that's strictly aero will feel great on the flats, but it'll suffer on the climbs and in quick acceleration

FEATURES :
• The Rider-First Engineered, FACT 11r frame not only makes the Venge the most aerodynamic road bike we've ever created, but it's also lightweight and stiff in all the right places. Every tube shape, trailing edge, and design cue was influenced by hours of testing in our Win Tunnel, CFD, 3D-printed prototypes, and real-world rider feedback. Ultimately, this resulted in the fastest road bike we've ever made.
• Designed in our Win Tunnel, the fork features a top-end, S-Works FACT 11r carbon construction that helps to cut through air like a hot knife through butter.
• A legendary CeramicSpeed bottom bracket ensures that you're making every precious last watt count.
