About The Ventum Tempus Carbon Force AXS 12 Speed Triathlon Bike

Ventum Tempus | Force AXS | TT & Triathlon Bike The fastest bike Ventum has ever built — now available custom through Victory Bicycle Studio. Born from thousands of hours of development, wind tunnel testing, and real-world race feedback, the Ventum Tempus was made for one thing: going excruciatingly fast. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, Kona qualification, or an overall win, this is your secret weapon. Now available not just as a direct-to-consumer bike, but custom built and serviced through Victory, the Tempus offers all the speed with none of the guesswork. Why We Love It Unapologetically Aero Every inch of the Tempus has been shaped with clean air in mind. From the wide-set fork that guides airflow around the rider’s legs, to the sculpted seat stays that shroud the rear wheel at high yaw angles—this bike was engineered to cheat the wind. SRAM Force AXS + Power Meter Wireless shifting, precision performance, and a fully integrated Quarq power meter make this drivetrain as smart as it is smooth. The 1x setup keeps things simple, light, and race-focused. Dialed Fit with Profile Design Cockpit We love that the Tempus is spec’d with the all-new Profile Design Wing Ultimate S base bar and 52 ASC aerobar extensions. Designed in tandem with Ventum, the cockpit is extensively adjustable for personalized positioning and long-course comfort. Zipp 454 NSW Firecrest Carbon Wheels Incredibly fast, crosswind-stable, and race-proven. The 454 NSW wheels are optimized for aerodynamics and control, making them perfect for variable real-world triathlon conditions. Lightweight & Nimble With a steep seat tube angle for an aggressive power position and a stiffened front end for razor-sharp handling, the Tempus isn’t just fast in a straight line—it’s precise in corners and lively on climbs.

features

  • WIDE IS THE NEW NARROW

    Jutting far outboard of the frame, Tempus' wide-set fork & equally wide seat stays are designed for one purpose: To create clean air.

    Wide fork channels clean air past front wheel & onto rider's legs, avoiding turbulence caused by wheel & creating a shrouding effect over one of the most aerodynamically problematic body parts.

    Just behind the legs, airfoils on the wide seat stays not only direct air from the back of the legs over and around the wheel, but also help shroud the rear wheel at higher yaw angles.

  • AN ULTRA-ADJUSTABLE FRONT END

    Ventum partnered with Profile Design to engineer the Tempus in tandem with their all-new Wing Ultimate S base bar.

    Uncomplicated, incredibly aero, and extensively adjustable, Profile Design cockpit systems gives riders & bike fitters power to precisely dial in the front end position.

    Equipped with 52 ASC aerobar extension, riders also have option to upgrade cockpit to semi-custom ASC Pro extensions.

  • FAST SHOULD FEEL FAST

    Aerodynamic optimization can only take you so far. A fast bike is a balance between aerodynamics, handling, and functional design.

    An aggressively steep seat tube angle and strategic stiffening of front end means Tempus feels as fast as it looks on paper. It's also wickedly light, which helps make the bike feel more lively and responsive.

    Feedback from our pros says we nailed it: They've raved about the Tempus' nimble yet stable handling.

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.
