All new for 2016; we have brought the Venon range to the forefront of the latest technological developments to incorporate disc brakes across all models with a revised frameset which offers enhanced performance and comfort levels!
The Venon features a Shimano 105 groupset; TRP Spyre disc brakes; Fulcrum Racing Sport Disc Brake wheelset and Vitus finishing kit to complete the package.
The all new 2016 Venon disc brake specific frameset features T700 HM-UD construction for lightweight and durability with full internal cable routing which is compatible with both mechanical and electronic shifting set ups. We have completely revised the frameset to improve vertical compliance and enhance comfort levels without compromising on lateral stiffness and power transfer. The addition of slender seatstays and a 27.2mm seatpost results in increased vertical compliance which translates into a smoother ride and reduced road vibration.
The bottom bracket area is oversized to improve lateral stiffness and improved power transfer; up front the tapered headtube increases front end stiffness for improved tracking and handling. A matching T700 HM-UD full carbon fork with tapered steerer adds comfort and enhanced steering precision; our revised lay-up further reduces road buzz to offer added comfort on rougher sections of road.
We have incorporated a through axle on the front for enhanced braking performance and improved handling to counteract the brake forces that are transmitted through one side of fork. We have adopted the 100mm x 15mm front axle standards. The rear axle is 135x9mm QR but can be changed to 142x12mm with an additional dropout set which is available to purchase separately.
Our endurance geometry features a more relaxed riding position with the addition of slightly taller headtubes to maintain all day comfort and reduced lower back stress. This offers an optimum centralized riding position for improved stability and also enhances the overall handling characteristics.
“If you’re after a comfortable, endurance-driven road bike with a ton of value for money, this is one for your short list!”
