NEW Specialized Aero Bike – 5 Things You Need To Know

Mark Cavendish and Peter Sagan have been riding a NEW Specialized aero bike at the Tour de Suisse – their final preparation race before the Tour de France.

Specialized are very good at keeping their new bikes and projects a secret. So, we were a bit surprised to see a brand new bike, that looks incredibly aero, complete with integrated brakes and stem at the Tour de Suisse where Peter Sagan took his bike to a winning start.

There are a few things that we think you should know about Specialized's new aero bike: the name, the lack of cables, integrated brakes, aero bar and stem, and, the lowered seat stays.

Don't forget to comment below with your thoughts on the bike!

Venge Rim OR Disc... Well done, Tom. I believe you're on to something there.

Did not expect a video about this new beast so soon from you guys! Cool!

[theCLEcyclist]

Thrilled to be 1 of 3 at the end. Good video guys and look forward to verifying the speculation in the future

[derpjumping]

Great video! Love these new tech vids! How about the new aero Trek next?

[bægworks]

I was having a bad day until you guys posted 3 videos in one day. Thanks GCN!

[pmborris]

Watched it till the end. You got my first thumbs up because of it.

I don't know which came first, but GT has been using lowered seat stays on their frames for decades now, though theirs did extend beyond the seat tube to the top tube and they didn't do it for aerodynamics.

Yeah Baby! Finally introducing the new Venge!

[teroy]

Lowered seat stays eg. Pinarello f8, Cervelo s5, Merida Reacto, new Scott foils. The list goes on. Way to go bmc for your great rnd.

Thanks 50fps back. You guys make your mind up!

[Spicy_chef]

that banter at the end of the video though!! #priceless

[SlowBoyAthlete]

I gave this video a thumbs up just because of Tom Last's end board speculation! That was a 1 in 3 chance!

[georgegilles]

That specialized aero bike is awesome.

[CharlieBennici]

Could you please do more time trial bike stuff?

Global Cycling Network take a look at 1:45 for your question about adjustability of the stem, looks like there could be shaped spacers placed between the bike and the stem, something similar as the cervelo P5, what do you think about it?

[niklaswerner]

It's called the S-Works Venge VIAS, says the official Fan-page from Peter Sagan on Facebook

[bjornsymoens]

Are you guys going to do a similar video about the new trek madine 9

[ngwilson]

Can you guys do one on the new Scott Foil too?

[erickelsey]

I have a Specialized Roubaix for an Aero Bike i'm leaning towards a Cervelo S5

[ashliehiggins]

hope that the rim bit means rim brakes so they might have a disc version.
