Ventum One Red AXS Triathlon Bike 2022

The Ventum One is one of the most iconic triathlon bikes ever designed, engineered to maximize aerodynamics, integration, and rider efficiency. From its radical beam frame design to its wind-cheating geometry, the Ventum One bike is built to help athletes ride faster with less effort. The 2022 model equipped with SRAM Red eTap AXS wireless shifting represents the pinnacle of Ventum’s design philosophy: minimal drag, maximum speed, and total control.

Unlike traditional triathlon bikes that follow a double-diamond frame shape, the Ventum One Disc is instantly recognizable thanks to its beam-style frame that eliminates the seat tube entirely. This design isn’t just about looks—it’s the result of years of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) testing and real-world wind tunnel optimization. The result is a triathlon bike that performs as fast as it looks, setting new standards for what athletes can expect from an aero machine.

If you’re comparing triathlon bikes such as the Canyon Speedmax CF 7, Cervelo P-Series, or Felt IA Advanced, the Ventum One bike consistently earns high marks for aerodynamic innovation, integrated hydration, and rider-focused adjustability.

A Radical Frame That Redefines Aerodynamics

The defining feature of the Ventum One is its frame. By eliminating the seat tube, Ventum created a bike that allows air to pass smoothly through the frame, reducing turbulence and drag. Paired with wide-set aero fork blades and a low-profile cockpit, the bike maintains stability in crosswinds while allowing riders to hold an aero position with less fatigue.

The Ventum One Disc adds the stopping power and control of hydraulic disc brakes without compromising aero performance. With hidden cabling and integrated brake calipers, braking performance improves while drag is kept to an absolute minimum.

SRAM Red AXS Wireless Shifting

This 2022 build features SRAM Red eTap AXS, a 12-speed wireless electronic groupset that delivers crisp, accurate shifting every time. With no cables to stretch or adjust, shifting is instantaneous whether you’re climbing, sprinting, or staying tucked in your aero bars at full speed.

The drivetrain pairs a 48/35T crankset with a wide-range 10-28T cassette, giving triathletes the gears they need for everything from flat time trial efforts to steep climbs on long courses. With AXS app integration, you can fine-tune your shifting setup to match your riding style.

Integrated Hydration and Nutrition Storage

Another standout feature of the Ventum One bike is its integrated hydration system. Built directly into the frame’s top tube, it allows riders to drink without breaking aero position—a crucial advantage in long-course triathlons where seconds add up. The system holds up to 1.4 liters of fluid and can be refilled on the go.

Additional integrated storage compartments for nutrition and tools keep the bike clean and aerodynamic, eliminating the need for bulky add-ons that disrupt airflow.

Rider Fit and Adjustability

Despite its radical appearance, the Ventum One Disc offers a wide range of adjustability to fit different rider positions. The cockpit allows for precise tuning of stack, reach, and extension length, ensuring triathletes can dial in an aggressive or sustainable aero fit depending on race distance.

The beam design also enhances comfort by dampening road vibrations, reducing fatigue over long rides. For Ironman athletes, this can make the difference between simply finishing and setting a personal best.

Who Should Ride the Ventum One?

Long-course triathletes who value aerodynamics and comfort over 112 miles.

Time trial racers seeking a competitive edge in speed and efficiency.

Athletes upgrading from traditional frame designs who want the most advanced integration available.

Triathletes comparing bikes like the Canyon Speedmax CF 7 Disc or Cervelo P-Series will find the Ventum One Disc offers unmatched aero performance and hydration integration.

Ventum One vs Ventum NS1

While the Ventum NS1 is a lightweight road racing bike, the Ventum One bike is purpose-built for triathlon and time trials. Its focus is on aerodynamics, integration, and sustained comfort in the aero position. Riders choosing between the two should consider their primary racing goals—road racing versus triathlon.

Ventum One Review Highlights

Reviews from athletes and media consistently highlight the Ventum One Disc for its:

Unique beam design that improves aerodynamics and comfort.

Seamless hydration and nutrition integration.

Precise, wireless SRAM Red AXS shifting.

Stable handling, even in crosswinds.

The Ventum One review consensus is clear: it’s one of the fastest, most innovative triathlon bikes available today.
