Summary
The Specialized Venge is celebrated for its aggressive aerodynamic profile and significant improvements over its predecessor, including enhanced aerodynamics, comfort, and weight. It stands out as a disc-equipped bike that has achieved professional racing success, offering a blend of speed and efficiency. While it excels in performance and handling, its high price and lack of rim-brake options may deter some.
Improved aerodynamics, comfort and weight from the previous model
Aggressive and uncompromising aerodynamic profile
First disc equipped bike to be ridden to victory at the Vuelta a San Juan
Faster in the wind than the previous ViAS
Hydraulic/Di2-only affair for modern performance
High price point
No rim-brake or mechanical-shift option
Comfort not on par with endurance bikes
The Tarmac is an all-rounder with improved aerodynamics, comfort and weight from the previous model.

Incredible performance – if you can afford it

At just 7.19 kg, the Specialized S-Works Venge is by far the lightest bike in the aero bike group test. But can it win the 2019 group test?

Aero is still everything for the Specialized Venge, but now the bike is lighter and handles better too. Photos: Valentin Rapp/Specialized

The new Venge manages to shave weight off the previous version of Specialized's aero bike, and it's better in the wind to boot.

Yes, the Specialized S-Works Venge is fast — with less aero drag and weight than the previous model — but what really makes it cool is the balance of all-out aero with rider-friendly details like an easily adjustable cockpit and a stock power meter.. .

The new Specialized Venge is not only a logical step forward, it’s a necessary step back into the real world, where bikes are ridden and races are raced
