"Much of the update centers around the front end, where Ventum pulled lessons from its Tempus TT platform to reshape how the NS1 meets the wind. The new head tube now extends forward of the steerer, creating a cleaner leading edge and narrowing the frame's middle through an hourglass profile to reduce frontal area. Meanwhile, deeper fork legs help guide airflow around the front wheel while adding stiffness up front."
"Ventum also took a hard look at weight, trimming 203 grams from the frameset compared to the outgoing NS1. That reduction comes from an updated carbon layup, production refinements, and shaving mass from the front end and seat stays. In a size M/L frame, the claimed frame weight is 853 grams. Ventum claims the stiffness numbers also improve, with increases at both the head tube and bottom bracket areas."
Ventum's third-generation NS1 focuses on front-end aerodynamic refinement, extending the head tube forward of the steerer to create a cleaner leading edge and an hourglass midsection that reduces frontal area. Deeper fork legs guide airflow around the front wheel while increasing stiffness. The frameset is 203 grams lighter versus the previous model thanks to an updated carbon layup, production refinements, and reduced material in the front end and seat stays; claimed M/L frame weight is 853 grams. Stiffness increases at the head tube and bottom bracket aim to improve responsiveness and power transfer. Race Geometry raises stack heights about 13mm in M/L sizes while preserving reach, enabling a more usable aerodynamic position.
