The Fastest Bike in the World: Specialized Venge ViAS

The Fastest Bike in the World: Specialized Venge ViAS

The fastest bike in the world is here: the Specialized Venge ViAS. With over 1,000 hours spent designing, refining, and testing in their very own “Win-Tunnel,” Specialized reached their goal of making the fastest bike in the world.

Roval CL 64 Wheelset

Helping to add some speed, the Venge ViAS is paired nicely with the Roval CL 64 wheelset, some of the fastest wheels ever made.

Front and Rear Brakes

As a result of many hours of testing and designing in the wind tunnel, Specialized came up with a few changes to help with aerodynamic drag. One of the major changes was to the front and rear braking systems. Specialized tested the flex of the wheel and frame to determine where the most movement occurred. With these results, along with the results from the wind tunnel, Specialized was able to design its proprietary braking system and determine the best placement that would reduce both aerodynamic drag and brake rub.

Handlebars and Stem

Another area of aerodynamic change was made to the handlebars and stem. After many months of prototyping, designing, and testing, this is the combination that came of their results: the Aerofly cockpit. This sleek design also internally houses all the cables through the handlebars, stem, and headset to their respective places, leaving nothing exposed.
