Loading... Please wait...Lightweight aluminum alloy construction — pro-level technology just a few years ago —and smart component choices make our Ventura series a perfect choice for sagged multi-day adventures and long weekend rides, which is why you'll see them underneath happy riders on gran fondos, at RAGBRAI and places like the AIDS Ride and other multi-day fundraisers.
The Ventura's handling is impeccable — stable, easy to ride, with just a hint of edginess that makes slinging into corners a joy. The Ventura frame's 7005 aluminum alloy main triangle is extremely light, and if you opt for the Ventura Race you'll even get a carbon fiber monostay rear end that sheds a few grams and really smooths the ride out for those extra-long rides.

I picked this bike up in Bethesda.. Absolutely love it.. I've never ridden a road bike because I did not like the ergonomics of previous bikes I have tried. This bike fit me perfect and I couldn't ask for more performance. I started out being able to do only a few miles. I'm up to 30 mile rides with in a few weeks of starting. Awesome bike at a great price.
