Ventum

VENTUM’s storied history began like some of the most cherished tech brands: in a small garage late at night.  What started as a pet project among a professional athlete and engineers, quickly escalated into a viable product and business model.  The founders, Jimmy Seear and Diaa Nour perfected a unique design for the next “hyper” bike and quickly raised seed funding.  The brand was launched in 2015 at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, HI.   This radical design of the VENTUM ONE was a patented “Z” shaped frame with integrated hydration and a near endless ability to customize each specific build.   The frame of the VENTUM ONE was inspired by other non-traditional bikes from decades ago but modernized for the needs of triathlon.  The VENTUM ONE was also designed to handle as well as it cheats the wind. Tested in the wind tunnel, the VENTUM ONE decreased drag by 117g (24%) over the top triathlon bikes of the time.

In 2016, VENTUM became the official bike sponsor for the IRONMAN World Championship.  Ventum was a pioneer and advocate for innovation and became the first “non-traditional” bike frame to officially be declared legal by the international governing body of triathlon.  This was possible only because Ventum was able to pass the most stringent stress and deflection testing in the industry.   In addition to being fast, the Ventum ONE was also incredible safe.
