S-Works Venge 2019
Moderator: robbosmans
But I still can’t remember what “SCS” actually stood for... Specialized Compatibility System?

Seriously? Thanks... I almost guessed that but thought that would be as dumb as my tongue in cheek "Specialized Compatibility System". Same thing I guess.

I have the 2018 model so I feel mixed about it, I prefer the downtube and the stem on the 2018, but everything else on the 2019 is better, likely the 2019 will weigh far less as well. I can't tell if the 2019 is a more conventional stem with a fairing or if its fully integrated like the 2018 was, but that whole system weighs a ton.
I'm guessing Specialized will market the 2019 venge as "just as fast" but with more comfort and about 1 lbs less, a more overall aero bike meant to compete better with the likes of the F10.

Looks like a Cervelo S5
Except for the lack of rear wheel cutout, the seatstay location, the near horizlntal top tube and the seatpost. Yep, exactly the same as an s5.

Ha! S5 is the least similar bike
Looks like a mix between a Reacto and Aeroad. Better looking than the Reacto for sure. Good looking bike. I'm guessing 6.8-7.0kg. Frame needs to offer some serious aero/stiffnes gains (or sponsor money) for the riders to pick it before the SL6 which is such a complete frame.

Own an SL6.. this Venge is def nice.. but the whole disc thing is a massive turn off for me unless its on a CX or MTB... hopefully there is a rim brake model just out of principle.. but I doubt it...calleking wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:55 pmHa! S5 is the least similar bike

You just summed up the entire road bike industry.
Thanks for the detailed photos MatosVelo.MatosVelo wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 8:51 pmUpdate of gallery of Venge with pictures of this morning : https://www.matosvelo.fr/index.php?post ... u-dauphine
I'm not sure cyclingnews has moved in to the 21st century with its postage stamp sized photos.
140mm front rotor and I'm not sure a 160mm can fit in that fork. If I'm right that's a hard pass. I won't ride a disc bike with 140mm front rotor.
