Product Description
Ventum GS1 Rival XPLR
Road Speed. Gravel Capability. Zero Compromise.
The third-generation Ventum GS1 is Ventum’s clearest expression yet of what a modern gravel race bike should be: simple, fast, and focused.
This isn’t a “do-everything” compromise machine.
It’s a gravel bike shaped by an obsession with speed — without sacrificing handling.
To make it faster, Ventum increased tire clearance, reduced weight, and improved aerodynamics. But they refused to compromise the one thing that matters most when speeds rise and terrain gets loose:
Handling.
Proven Geometry. No Excuses.
The GS1 retains Ventum’s Race Geometry — aggressive, efficient, and confidence-inspiring. A tucked rear end and stable steering give the bike a snappy, responsive feel that doesn’t fall apart when conditions change.
Big tires create big challenges — especially in the rear. Many brands sacrifice handling to claim massive clearance numbers. Ventum didn’t.
The result?
A gravel bike that feels fast and precise, not vague or sluggish.
Fast, but stable.
Snappy, yet predictable.
Road-bike speed, dipped in gravel capability.

A Note From Clark
“The GS1 is for riders who want gravel speed without giving up precision. Big tires are great — but only if the bike still handles at speed. Ventum nailed that balance, and we make sure every GS1 leaves our shop fully dialed before it ever hits the road or dirt.”
