About The Ventum NS1 V3 Carbon SRAM Force AXS Road Bike
The Ventum NS1 V3 Carbon SRAM Force AXS Road Bike is a full carbon race road bike built for club racing, fast group rides, and road racing. This third-generation NS1 frame is 203g lighter than the previous generation, with a reworked front end drawing on aero cues from Ventum's Tempus time trial bike. Ventum also added frame stiffness — 7.7% at the head tube and 11.9% at the bottom bracket — while bringing total frame weight down to 853g.
The build centers on a wireless SRAM Force AXS groupset paired with Ventum's all-new Race Geometry, which adds stack height on M/L and XL sizes so more riders can hold an aero position longer. A T47 threaded bottom bracket, UDH-compatible dropout, fully integrated cable routing, and a Ventum carbon seatpost with 10mm offset round out the frame, with tire clearance up to 700x35c.
Who It's For
- Racers and fast group ride riders who want the latest NS1 platform with wireless SRAM Force AXS shifting.
- Riders who want a build customized to their preferences — gearing, wheels, crank length, and cockpit setup can be adjusted through Victory.
- Riders comfortable in a race-aggressive position; added stack on M/L and XL sizes helps larger riders hold that position longer.
- Riders needing tire clearance beyond 700x35c or a more upright endurance geometry should look elsewhere.
What to Look For
- Confirm frame size and fit before ordering — Ventum's Race Geometry favors an aggressive, aero-focused position.
- Decide on an assembly path: Standard Boxed Shipping ships built and tuned but repacked, requiring minor assembly on arrival, while White Glove Delivery arrives roughly 99% assembled and hand-delivered, with crank length, bar width, and stem length confirmed and brakes bled before it reaches you.
- Confirm your tire needs — the frame tops out at 700x35c, built for road and light all-road use rather than gravel.
Key Features
Frame and fork: The third-generation NS1 frame cuts 203g versus the prior generation and gains stiffness at the head tube (+7.7%) and bottom bracket (+11.9%), with a front-end shape drawing on Ventum's Tempus TT bike for aero efficiency. Total frame weight is 853g. A full carbon fork, T47 threaded bottom bracket, UDH-compatible dropout, and fully integrated cable routing keep the platform current.
Groupset: A wireless SRAM Force AXS groupset handles shifting without cables running to the cockpit.
Geometry: Ventum's all-new Race Geometry adds stack height on M/L and XL sizes, letting more riders hold an aggressive, aero position for longer without changing the frame's race-focused handling.
Seatpost and clearance: A Ventum carbon seatpost with 10mm offset is standard, and tire clearance runs up to 700x35c.
Rider Intent Summary
- Biggest strengths: Wireless SRAM Force AXS groupset on a lighter, stiffer third-generation NS1 frame with a Tempus-inspired aero front end.
- Tradeoffs: A 700x35c tire ceiling limits it to road and light all-road use, and the race-focused geometry isn't built for endurance riding.
- What makes it different: Aero cues carried over directly from Ventum's Tempus TT platform, plus added stack on larger sizes to make the aero position more attainable.
Victory's Take
At Victory Bicycle Studio, we build and tune every NS1 Force AXS in-house before it ships, and we can adjust gearing, wheels, crank length, or cockpit setup to match how you ride. Choose Standard Boxed Shipping or our White Glove Delivery, which arrives roughly 99% assembled and hand-delivered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the bike packaged and how long does delivery take?
All bikes are securely packaged to ensure that damage doesn't occur during shipping. All parts of the bike are padded and if needed, zip tied to minimize or eliminate movement inside the box. Once a bike is handed to the shipping company (usually Fedex or UPS), depending on your location, delivery will range from 1 day to 8 days. If you do choose the option for Professional Assembly or White Glove Delivery, this can add anywhere from 2 days to 5 days to the lead time.
Can I finance the purchase of my new bike?
Yes. Simply select the Shop Pay Installments option which will allow you to buy now and pay later. Shop Pay Installments is powered by Affirm. If you would like to determine your spending limit, simply download the Shop app or the Affirm app on your smartphone and after you create an account on one of these apps, the app will let you know what is your spending limit.
Can I return the bike if it doesn't suit my needs?
Our return process is as follows. The customer is responsible for the return label ($150). Once the returned bike arrives at our warehouse, our team will inspect it and make sure it is in new condition and undamaged. Once we verify, we will process the return and issue a refund to the original payment method on file. To clarify the amount refunded, it would just be the amount of the bike (and tax if applicable) less the $150 shipping label that we provided, but the original shipping is not refunded. So if the original bike cost $4,500 and shipping was $150 (so you paid $4,650), you would be refunded $4,350 (the $4,500 less $150 for the return label) assuming the bike was returned in new and un-used condition and within the 30 day return period.
What does the warranty of my new bike or product cover and what is the warranty period?
Depending on the bike or any product, different companies have different warranty policies. If you do ever have an issue with your bike or any product, simply email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will assist with any warranty issues and clarify the warranty for the affected product.
Can I have my bike serviced at any bike shop?
Typically, to avoid any issues with your warranty, you should bring your bike to a certified mechanic or bike store for that bike (i.e. if you have a Trek bicycle, you should bring the bike to be serviced to a local bike store that is an authorized Trek dealer). If you need assistance, simply email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we can direct you to a certified dealer of your bike.
Do you ship bikes internationally?
We unfortunately do not ship bikes outside of the 48 contiguous states of the United States. We do recommend for international customers to open (or use a current account) account with a freight forwarding company. If you use a freight forwarding company located in the U.S., make sure to put your billing address for a dedicated credit card as the same address as the freight forwarder so that you don't have any credit card or payment method issues).
Once you do this, simply place an order with us and we can ship to the U.S. address as long as the credit card doesn't get rejected. Once the freight forwarder has the box/order/shipment, you would instruct them to then ship to you in your home country and they would charge you their own shipping charge to ship to your international address.
Do you offer free shipping?
We do offer free shipping on non-bike orders over $100. We do not offer free shipping for bicycles unless it is a one time promotion. Generally, bike shipping will cost $150 and that covers just the shipping of the bike with no assembly. If you were to bring that bike to your local mechanic or bike store, you would pay them their assembly fee. If you choose our Professional Assembly option for $200, our service technicians would assemble the bike before shipping and then re-pack the bike safely for transit. When you receive the bike you would attach the front wheel, attach the seatpost/saddle, and raise the handlebars and clamp them. Those three items do have to be detached to minimize or eliminate the chance of damage in transit.
How much does shipping cost?
For orders of parts, accessories, apparel, etc. on orders under $100, shipping is a flat rate of $9.99. Regular bike shipping without assembly is $150, bike shipping with Professional Assembly is an additional $200 (so $350 in total which includes the $150 of regular shipping). Our White Glove Delivery option is $699 and that will cover the assembly of the bike and our White Glove Delivery partner delivering your dream bike to your front door, ready to ride!
How can I track my order?
When you place your online order, you will receive an instantaneous email update with your order number and order details, and shortly after, you will receive a follow up order email with the tracking number for your order. If you still need assistance with your order, feel free to email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will respond asap.
What happens if my package arrives damaged?
If your package arrives damaged, email online@victorybicyclestudio.com with pictures of all angles of the box and pictures of the damaged product and we will work with you to either send a new replacement asap and coordinate return (or re-imburse you for labor or costs incurred to fix the issue at your local bike store).
Are pedals included with the bike?
If you do not see pedals in the bullet point product specs on the product page, the bike does not come equipped with pedals. Many manufacturers do not spec bikes with pedals, so they are often purchased separately.
If I only pay the $150 for bike shipping, can I assemble the bike on my own?
Victory Bicycle Studio highly recommends that you bring your bike to your local certified bike store for the brand of the bike that you purchased. If you do attempt to assemble the bike and damage occurs, this may result in your warranty not being honored. For that reason, we do highly recommend to select our Professional Assembly option for $299.
