We are thrilled to announce some major news for Merlin Cycles and UK cycling: Ventum Bikes are officially landing in the UK — and we are the exclusive UK retailer for this iconic performance-driven brand.
This isn’t just another bike launch. It’s a game-changer for UK cyclists. Read on to find out more about this exciting brand.
What Makes Ventum Bikes So Special?
Ventum isn’t your average bike brand. Born in the wind tunnels of Utah and tested in the world’s toughest races, Ventum has built a cult following among triathletes, gravel adventurers, and road racers who demand the absolute best.
Designed with aerodynamics, lightweight performance, and innovation at the core, Ventum Bikes are trusted by world-class athletes, including Ironman champions and pro road and gravel racers.
Now, for the first time ever, UK riders can get their hands on these elite machines — exclusively through Merlin Cycles.
The Models You Need to Know About
Whether you’re racing on tarmac or conquering gravel trails, Ventum delivers high-performance machines that go beyond expectations.
Ventum NS1 — The Ultimate Road Bike
A modern marvel that blends aero efficiency with lightweight climbing power. The NS1 is ideal for road cyclists who want a bike that does it all. It’s fast, responsive, and race-ready straight out of the box.
Ventum GS1 — Dominate the Gravel
The GS1 is Ventum’s answer to gravel — and it’s an absolute beast. Engineered for comfort, control, and speed across rough terrain, it’s the perfect companion for riders who don’t want to stick to the road. With tyre clearance of 700x56c in the front and 700x50c in the rear it is a bike that can go anywhere, whilst being aero enough for racing.
Ventum Tempus – Born to Win in Triathlon
The Tempus is Ventum’s flagship TT and triathlon bike, purpose-built for aerodynamic dominance and maximum power transfer. With its aggressive geometry, integrated storage, and wind-cheating profile, the Tempus is designed to help triathletes smash PBs and crush Ironman courses.
