ABOUT THE VENTUM GS1 GRAVEL BIKE FRAMESET

Inspired by our NS1 road bike and tweaked to inspire confidence on variable terrain, the Ventum GS1 gravel bike is a blend of road speed dipped in gravel capability. It’s fast, but stable; snappy, but predictable. It’s a bike with one foot in two worlds — a wonderful balance that’ll take you there and back, but faster. It might just be the only bike you need.

WHAT YOU GET

• SRAM Apexl XPLR AXS 1x12-speed electronic drivetrain
• A full carbon fiber frame with intuitive internal cable routing
• Tire clearance to 700x48c

VENTUM CUSTOMER SUPPORT + RIDE READY SHIPPING

Each Ventum bike begins life at our facility in Heber City, Utah, at the doorstep of some of the best riding this side of… anywhere.

No matter the build, any bike we send out into the world is first built, checked, and thoroughly tuned by a professional mechanic. With a bill of good health, it’s then repackaged into a specially-made ride-ready box designed to transport the bike to the rider with as little disassembly as possible. In the end, all you need to do is attach the front wheel, insert the seat post, and dial in your fit.

We’re here to help along the way. From picking your bike to support down the road, the Ventum customer support team is here for anything you need.

VENTUM GS1 APEX XPLR GEOMETRY

VENTUM RACE GEOMETRY

The GS1’s geometry is something we hold near and dear to our hearts at Ventum. Adored by our pro riders and obsessed over by our engineers, it’s quick in corners yet wonderfully predictable and stable at high speeds over variable terrain.

We describe the bike as “confidently quick.” Ride it, and you’ll know what we mean.

TIRE CLEARANCE TO 700x48c

In gravel, bigger is better. The GS1 is designed to accomidate up to 700x48c tires with mud clearance to spare. Float on chunk, surf through mud — do it all faster than everyone else.

CONTACT SUPPORT

"Ironman Sweden was my first race on my new bike from Ventum, a Shimano Dura Ace 12-speed. The aero comfort is easy to adjust to the perfect fit and with the fantastic disc brakes it is easy to keep a good rhythm through the corners. With the Ventum One, I achieved my fastest bike split at Ironman Sweden."

- Jesper Svensson

“There is nothing I would rather use to sail the gravel seas of eastern Nebraska than my GS1 (except for maybe a tandem). Its smooth comfort allowed me to carry my speed and momentum over the tops of every one of the endless rollers on the Gravel Worlds course. I was able to open gaps through the loose corners all day long, thanks to the bike’s stability and nimble handling, and there’s just no arguing with a 22 mph average speed over 150 miles, with 11,000 feet of elevation gain, on a course that’s 98% gravel, on my way to 2nd place out of a very talented pro field."

- John Borstelmann

"The GS1 is everything I want in a gravel bike. The combination of smooth cruising on pavement and steady rolling over rowdy terrain makes it the most dynamic bike. From champagne gravel to chunky single track, my GS1 has performed beautifully through it all. Let’s not forget that it has ample tire clearance and is aesthetically stunning!"

- Lindsey Stevenson
