With the spy shots of the SL7 Tarmac. When do we think we will see the 2021 Venge, or will we? Now the Tarmac has been merged with the Venge front a little? I am dying to get my eyes on the new Venge!

In our club’s group rides we routinely hit 30mph+ before a sprint. If we catch a tail wind on certain sections it could be 35-38+. [image] Nate_Pearson: Yah, but winning that 35+ cat 4 race by a tire length sure does feel great! True!

Well also remember that that 10 watts is usually measured at some sane power output…like 300 watts. A pro sprinting at 40mph at 5X that 300 watts might save 50 watts.

Even on solo rides I hit 50 km/h on false flats and/or when I have the wind on my side. 35-45 km/h are not unusual in the least. When you don’t race and you don’t care about every last bit of speed, then this may not matter. But, say, a 20-second advantage over a, say, 10-15 km lap during a race is…

Though aero gains don’t care about your moving speed but rather your velocity relative to the air. So 38 mph with an 8 mph tailwind would see the same aero losses as 30 with no wind.

[image] mrpbennett: It would be the better all round bike, I was looking at the BMC TeamMachine (before a Venge)…the SL7 should blow it out the water. I agree when comparing it to the previous model, but the 2021 BMC Teammachine changes things: 2021 BMC Teammachine SLR01: The fourth…

With the arrival of SL7, the word is that the Venge will be available as a frame set only. Saw these of FB Can anyone confirm whether they are real?

If the venge had a bsa threaded bottom bracket in the frameset incarnation, that would be wonderful.

I still think the Venge looks cooler than the Tarmac (I have an SL6 Tarmac and still wish I bought the Venge)

2021 Venge...is it round the corner?
