The frame features functional airfoils that taper from head tube to seatstays, a wide-set fork and rear stays that channel air around turbulence-prone zones, and an aggressively steep seat tube angle that positions the rider forward over the pedals. Ventum benchmarks the Tempus at up to 15 watts faster than its predecessor, the Ventum One Disc, in certain conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:525;555-1079\"\u003eThis build pairs the Tempus frame with \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM Force AXS 12-speed wireless electronic shifting\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eZIPP 808 Firecrest 80mm carbon wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a size-specific \u003cstrong\u003eSRAM Force power meter crankset\u003c\/strong\u003e — making it a complete race-ready package.
