Magma Black
Pearl White
Versatile design
Shaped to dance through the wind
Aero-shaped tubes avoid extremes so the Venta R stays agile in every situation, including strong crosswinds.
Rear triangle
A carefully shaped cut-out for the rear wheel and lowered seat stays improve aerodynamics and reduce drag.
Fork design
A straight-bladed fork gives precise, responsive handling.
Your power, your speed
An oversized BB and downtube meet a reinforced head-tube junction to resist torsional flex for efficient power transfer.
Lightweight construction
Light, durable and easy to handle
Frame and fork use Torayca T700 carbon with in-mould bearing housings and no extra inserts.
Shimano 105 12-speed
A wide gear range and refined ergonomics, so shifting becomes second nature.
Heart carbon seatpost
Integrates with the frame and clamp for comfort; 15mm setback as standard with a 0mm option available.
3B Clamp System Gen 2
A hidden, vulcanised seatpost clamp that adds an anti-vibration effect on bumpy roads.
The cockpit
Strato stem with Microtech's integrated-cable headset semi-integrates cables while keeping the stem cable-free and easy to adjust.
