I bought this colour way bk in march 2020 it was the last 56cm in the uk. Ive loved every min of riding it , had the mk1 venge a 2015 venge pro in hyper was a great bike but its not got a patch on this one
I would take this over the SL7 all day long, at 16lbs riding up hills would not be a problem for me! I like the way it looks over the SL7 with the thicker frame, it just looks fast! And it being more aero than the SL7 and and only weighing in at 16lbs and the SL7 weighing in at a little over 15lbs the venge would be my pick.
Yea unfortunate people would come in set on a bike that a friend told them about or saw online like the venge and we wouldn’t have it in stock but we would have an sworks tarmaf up there and they would ask what the difference was then they would wanna ho home and do research and would wait for a while to decide and sometimes never come back in cause they couldn’t decide lol
My Venge disc 2019 size 56 with CLX64, Tune bottle cages, DA pedals and Garmin mount ready to ride is weighting little bit under 7,2kg...that’s not a big difference in weight between ready to ride sl7, but a lot better looking and more aero with deeper wheels. Who needs SL7 when the real beast is VENGE🔥
I love my Sworks Venge! I did order the Sworks SL7. I think the loss of ceramic speed bearing through out is a bummer. Vertical stiffness is not a proble with the venge with wider tires like you said. I run 25mm conti gp 5000 no issues.
Yea the only real complaints came from like the much older riders where I can understand. But those wheels and the normal 25-28 tires everyone is running there was no issue. But the Tarmac as a complete bike is absolutely an amazing bike. If you have any ounce of hills where your at or just like riding a lighter bike.
@@solefreak2 100 percent because the new tarmac sl7 is still a very aero bike, but lighter and more snappy for climbs and crit races..... it will accelerate quicker then the venge
thats there storm grey even though it looks blue... thats what they call it but its very popular with there whole bike line as it should be lol.... amazing in person
I have a Specialized Venge frameset and planning to build it up. Can I put a 700x28 tires and will have enough clearance? The SL7 is nice but the Venge looks faster. That’s just my opinion.
Wish I can get one, let me know if you find one somewhere size 49cm. will pay whatever price I can get with the size I need. Love this bike. I have the 2018 model and it just not everything I wanted.
damn I was gonna say I have a 58, but if I can ever find a 49 I might hit you up, send me an email when you get a chance so I can rememeber gcperformanceyt@gmail.com and I will look out for you
lmao, sorry, that comes on all stock bikes from factory we leave them on there unless the customer wants to remove them per request.... but just in case the shop that sells you the bike doesn't know how to adjust rear derailleurs, it will prevent the chain going into the rear wheel if the limit screw inst adjusted and damaging the wheel
Do you try to change venge stem and bar to bar and stem from sl7? I heard that these parts are much lighter. Do you know how much? Is this parts fix to venge?
GC Performance i was wondering if i’m having an issue with my power meter. I have the same as you have. My garmin is sensing 2 power sensor. But when i try to add both, it would not allow to connect both. Right now only one sensor from the power meter is connected. Is this mean only one side of the crank is being detected? Thanks for your answers.
popitn2nd yes I had the same issue. You have to download the specialized power app for the cranks. It will read the cranks and make the 2 sensors into one power crank and then take that and pair the new code it gives you. It will be easy just download the specialized power crank app and walk through it. It’s very easy
GC Performance when you say.. Specialized power app. Means an app i have to download for the computer to set this up? or a mobil app? That can be done and set up through mobile phone? Thanks!
I don’t think so, they have the 2021 frames available to buy right now and there’s nothing different maybe more price points for complete bikes like an Allez sprint with carbon wheels for 3300 who knows. I’ll keep you updated if I hear or see anything
Don't be afraid of tubeless..I have a 2020 tarmac sl7 w tubeless gp 5000...I am beating my times from last year w turbo cotton clinchers, riding 75 lbs. Versus 95 lbs. So more comfort. More speed..what's not to like, extremely durable also!
GC Performance it’s a great bike. Put the 105 on my wife’s Domane, which had Tiagra. I love the Roubaix. I’m thinking next year a Tarmac TL7 is in the future for group ride days 🦄
i just checked the stock from specialized direct...... they dont have any sworks frames or complete bikes left..... they only have the complete pro model that retails for $8000 but i dont know if you didnt know this that the pro and sworks frame is the exact same frame and carbon just it doesnt same sworks on it
That was the Problem !!! I Love the Vias the best bike i have ridden and i came from a bike backround Startet with Giant then Scott and Felt then Specialized has the First Venge S-Works from 2014 and a Tarmac SL4 Pro then the Vias Pro with rim breaks and now a Ok Venge S-Works from 2019 But still miss the Vias .
Had and Love the VIAS but just didn’t like the look of the stem and of course working on it. I sold that and came across the Quickstep Venge frameset. Building that up now.
GC Performance www.bbinfinite.com/pages/road i have decided to install a quarq dfour dub in my venge but i cant find a minucious video of doing that even in their youtbe channel 😪
The main reason why they will stop this range is because they aren't able to sell a bike at this price; the base model (Venge Pro) is 8000 US$! I'm not rich by any mean but I own 2 venge (S-works Vias Disc and Venge Pro 2019) and I can say this bike is too expensive.
There’s no excuse on why they can’t sell a bike like that without carbon wheels for 5500. Put on some aluminum wheels and your good. They can make it work.
Venge all day long:/ So pissed off to hear this last month. Spec's gone mainstream imho, Best to look elsewhere for full on aero racing frames. I live in the Netherlands, I considered this bike the best all-around road racer to date. It even complied with the UCI nonsense. Shame all around. F. U. Specialized.
I have found some good deals and build myself a 2020 S-Works Venge on a budget with Ultegra DI2 and Dt Swiss wheelset for less then 6000 pounds, i absolutely love this bike its my dream bike 😁 Check out my bike on my channel.
Such a beautiful bike. It’s a shame that they discontinued this bike but from a business standpoint, I totally understand.
Same, I hope they re release it or maybe just the frame option. That doesn’t seem to bad
moeblisss12 +1
Its not only beautifully made. Im so impressed the weights too.
Small note - build manual says the top 2 bolts on the stem should be fully tight; ie. no gap between stem and clamp.
yes yes
@@GCPerformance18 Sorry - just making sure new owner doesnt get creaky bars - Im not trying to be pedantic :-). love your videos - keep up good work.
I love this color so much
It’s amazing!!!
Starting to like your taste You have loads of good insight Real good reviews
Thank you so much!!!! that really means alot ot me!!!
I'm sure the Tarmac SL7 is a capable successor but the Venge beats it in style points! Great looking bike! Sad to see it go!
Yes I can agree with that all the way I miss those big tubes on the vneg it looks so aggressive
That dork disc though. Lol.
lmao, it adds speed lol!!!!!
The Venge is amazing! Also like this color but i allready own a full aero bike so i ordered the SL7 s-works in red. Cant wait!!
the red is so nice, did you see my videos on the red color... the bike is gorgousssssss
@@GCPerformance18 yeah i've seen your vid! great stuff! keep them coming! i've subscribed to this channel!
@@benfocus2113 thanks so much i appreciate that, I will try to keep putting out more videos all the time
best aero bike ever built!
I have to agree 😁😁
That’s an amazing color!
One of my favorites!!

This color is super hot. Big fan of it. And I’m glad you got to get one. It’s night and day or over the 2015 one

im a big fan of the venge bike as I stated but, They did do an amazing job on the new tarmac SL7, I love the look of that bike too.
Just curious when you carried both the tarmac and the venge did you ever lose a sale to another bike because customers couldn't decide
Yea unfortunate people would come in set on a bike that a friend told them about or saw online like the venge and we wouldn’t have it in stock but we would have an sworks tarmaf up there and they would ask what the difference was then they would wanna ho home and do research and would wait for a while to decide and sometimes never come back in cause they couldn’t decide lol
I'm not missing out, never could afford it.
Maybe you can find a used one for a deal with the Tarmac’s coming out
hey Gc whats the difference in the 20 19 and the 2020 frame ? is the colors or the stickers ? or what than k you.
its the same bike to be hoenst, maybe just the paint job but the exact same bike
My Venge disc 2019 size 56 with CLX64, Tune bottle cages, DA pedals and Garmin mount ready to ride is weighting little bit under 7,2kg...that’s not a big difference in weight between ready to ride sl7, but a lot better looking and more aero with deeper wheels.

Any chance you’ll have the blue Tarmac Pro in a video soon? Keep up the great work!👍🏽👍🏽
I did the red one. I’m waiting for the blue I have on back order but it is coming 😉
I was under the assumption they would still sell the frameset on the venge for crit racers.
I haven’t heard that, I hope they keep the frames around still
That bike is so hot. I hope I can find a deal when more people upgrade to the sl7 (when there are more sl7s out there).
A lot of my customers are ditching there’s to get one of the SL7
@@GCPerformance18 I'll keep my eyes on the used market.

what color is this? wow!
thats there storm grey even though it looks blue... thats what they call it but its very popular with there whole bike line as it should be lol.... amazing in person
@@GCPerformance18 Thanks for the reply, do you have to custom order storm grey through your Specialized dealer? Thanks again
moonpat no it was a 2020 avaible color. I just don’t think they have them in stock anymore. It’s a discontinued bike

Yes you can fit them no problem. I have them on a customers bike. I love the venge frame
GC Performance
Thanks,I heard the Venge is pretty stiff and aero so I’ll get my compliance by putting a wider tire and get better rolling resistance.
@@intayonlakay8230 i rode that same venge with 700x24 you will be fine its not that bad lol people just sometimes like to complain about anything lol

I dont know if they are much lighter but I have seen people put tarmac stem on the venge it works but it doesnt line up perfect.....
Yasssss super Nice ❤
Is it possible to order replacement forks for the venge?
Yes I believe so, you can talk to your local specilaized dealer
Which side of the crank has the battery for the power meter?
Both sides. It’s dual sided so there is a battery on drive side and non drive side

Do u think the 2021 Allez Sprint getting Updated🤔 ????

There are no structural changes to the Allez Sprint.
Agree
So nice!
Glad you like it!
Don't be afraid of tubeless..I have a 2020 tarmac sl7 w tubeless gp 5000...I am beating my times from last year w turbo cotton clinchers, riding 75 lbs. Versus 95 lbs. So more comfort. More speed..what's not to like, extremely durable also!
not for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My roubaix is that color. Beautiful. I bought a Sport to get the color, then put Aeolus Pro 3 carbon wheels and Force AXS. Perfect set up for me
yea i know the exact model of that roubaix, that sounds like a very nice setup on the bike congrats my friend..... enjoy the rides
GC Performance it’s a great bike. Put the 105 on my wife’s Domane, which had Tiagra. I love the Roubaix. I’m thinking next year a Tarmac TL7 is in the future for group ride days 🦄
Mark Evan Lancaster you will notice a nice difference with it. It will be way more easier to maintain top end speeds with the aero sl7
GC Performance ive owned a couple emonda. Never an aero... or half aero bike LOL. It’ll be fun
Mark Evan Lancaster night and day
58 size?
yes this was a 58 size but it is sold and gone
What is your saddle height and drop on the bike ?
I don’t know it’s just a stock bike on it. It’s no ones bike
Any 54 frameset in stock?
i just checked the stock from specialized direct...... they dont have any sworks frames or complete bikes left..... they only have the complete pro model that retails for $8000 but i dont know if you didnt know this that the pro and sworks frame is the exact same frame and carbon just it doesnt same sworks on it
Sweet bike but I still love the sl7 more 😁
You and me both!
Beautyyyy
😁😁
Not a chance this bike weight is 16 lbs4 oz. in 58frame.
I ve seen a videos and people measuring their 52 and is the same weight
i weighed it 3 times, no lieeeee
All right man, sorry
My bad 😃
andy4g63 no worries, I’ll double check it tomorrow
Maybe you’re getting 52 power on one leg and maybe 49 on the other for a total of 101 percent because $12k gives you that
Hahahahaha I’m sorry for my percentages. I start talking sometimes and my mind is moving so fast that it doesn’t match what my mouth is saying
venge ViAS is the best haha

brian tedlos lucky man. My buddy is building a bora one. I love the team editions
Couldn’t tell the diff from a video tbh
What do you mean?
This is the superior machine compared to the sl7. Speed and Comfort is awesome, superior to sl7 with tubeless clx64s at 55psi . Get one if you can !
agreed, the new sl7 is amazing too but I will always miss my venge :(
He's so beautiful (l)
