I have the same bike but Hunt deep rim wheels. I LOVE it. Lots of negative stuff on youtube about the bike but ive had mine 18months its fun fast fancy and friggin fab 2 ride...

What size frame did you go for mate? and what height are you?

Well done Alex I could never do anything like this

Alex, know your an ambassador, but as a fellow cyclist appreciate your thoughts on a video Ive just seen where a mechanic has just trashed the build quality especially the carbon layering inside the frame and how the bottom bracket was fitted Your comments thoughts valued

Since you've had this bike have you had any issues with the frame or bottom bracket?

Had mine for a few months.my other bike is an orbea orca..the Orro is by far the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden.the miles flow by👍👊

I love my Venturi. , after being bitten by the road bike bug , up graded from a tarmac sl 2. Instantly felt the speed of the Orro , comfort on the 28mm tyres the frame seems to soak up harsh bumps pot holes. Even after upgrading it to what would be Taylor made spec from standard , it still pushes me to PB s every ride. As a mid 50s cyclist I feel like it’s always challenging me to go faster , stealth black in colour always gets good comments from the group rides. 👍👍👍

@alexboswell - I am really interested in this bike. I have a Giant Defy 1 2017 at the moment - and it has been great but now I feel I have to work alot harder compared to friends on similar bikes to the Ventiru. So I'm looking for something quicker in the flat and quicker uphills AND still comfortable - which from what you have said in the review and the endurance you do - seems to be amazingly good. I am doing RAB2024 so need to decide whether I go for a Venturi Aero or stick with my trusted Giant.

I really enjoyed this video. I'm in Somerset but know all of these Dorset roads well ❤️ Only just discovered your channel as I'm tempted by an Orro Venturi STC to replace my current bike and found your review. New subscriber 😊

I have had mine a year now and I much prefer my 2017 Scott Foil.....just personal preference but I find the Scott better for me.

Hello. How much does this bike weigh, and what is the maximum tire size it can accommodate?

It is a superb bike. I love mine. Done a few centuries now and it just glides along and is always fast, seems to just slip through the air

Is that an L or XL? Also, tire clearance? Have you tried fitting 32s? Merlin don't respond when I ask about tire clearance ... which makes me think it's tight.

It’s not a review

Looks like a beautiful day

Thanks for the review. Also got a Venturi STC Ultegra DI2 Feb 2023, matt black and I covered just short off 5k over that period. Did put a set of carbon 44mm Hunt Wheels that I had and also recently updated the sadle. Over this period I completed an Audax (200km) , ride London , and a Madrid to Malaga 700km sportive so I could not agree more that is both fast and comfortable. Since I got it few more friends from my club got the same bike and all of us as super happy. And when it comes to speed (especially with the replacement carbon wheels) you can cruise with significantly less effort than my previous bike. So not only is a great all around bike, great value for money but also a good-looking one

I got the version with the Blktec stem & bars. The stem is a thing of beauty! It’s a beautiful bike full stop. Agree the comments re absorbing the road noise. My usual ride are a pair of Bianchi Infinito bikes and the Venturi is even smoother, plus faster and better looking. The lower pressure tubeless will be a factor. Pleased to hear the bike packing comments as I’ve got a few self supported trips planned inc 7 days in France and was going to take a different bike but good to know I’ve got options! Thanks for the video 👍

I have one and, while I don’t do the endurance that Alex does, totally agree with everything he says. I bought it for 2 to 3 hour blasts but am quite comfortable riding it for a whole day.

Just checked out their online store and WOW great price points! I’m sold. Soooo much better value than the named brands. Thanks Alex. 🇦🇺

Stunning bike

Absolutely loved this! Great production!

How tall are you

Ace production man

Cool Vlog :)

Brilliant. Well done chief. CLUB75 BIKES

Funny how this popped up in my recommendations as I cast an eye over this one this morning. Well done Alex, rest well mate.

Great ride, was a gravel bike a good choice as im thinking of this in spring on a gravel rig. Whats in the calendar for you next year. Chapeau

The mapping was really useful thanks 👍

I pretty much shit myself on your behalf when that sheep ran out!

Awesome ride Alex. That’s a proper monster effort - well done!

Aaaah, water and mud, I hate it even when I hike, not to mention when I bike :D Seems I'm not an ultra racer, but I kinda knew this ;) I'm more of a leisure biker :)

Ledge

The trouble with dot watching is that you miss all of the story! I had a chuckle to myself when I saw you were up front (‘I’m not going to race it’ 😂) but ended up getting very confused from my sofa when your race started to unravel. Keep your chin up mate, there’s a big result coming for you once you get that little bit of luck you deserve #TCC

You sounded a bit low in the video but I know you'll get through this. Using the next race as training sounds good unless you need a proper rest. You'll get there and be even stronger.

Sorry to hear this Alex. Hope you bounce back soon mate.

Can’t wait to see how your year unfolds fella. Going to have some epic stories to share!

Good luck Alex. Sounds a great schedule. Great news the knee is getting better. Glad you remembered to have enjoyment too.

Good effort! It’s my first time seeing one of your videos too and I didn’t realise you were such a good presenter. I need to work on that!

good things coming and hopefully no more knee issues

You've captured the absolute best of what riding can be like in a good UK summer - cracking 🙂

After suffering a herniated disc later last year whilst riding I hadn't realised the effect of strong pain relief on both body and mind. Slowly getting some miles back in on the bike and hoping we both get a good 2023. Good luck to you

5:42 I call that the Abbotsbury descent. Best descent I know, you can hit 60mph down there

Watched the pan Celtic video sorry that you were unable to perform to your potential on that occasion. Hope you can address the issues and have the success you deserve in future events

Love the camel trail

Managed to get a short sleeve ride in Thursday. Summer kit in December 😂 but as soon as the sun goes it gets cold quick

Great video mate.. You're a nutter in short sleeves, shorts and no gloves! 😬😂. See ya soon...

Thanks for showing our wonderful Cornwall Alex

Great to have you back Alex. The content and balance of your videos have been fantastic. Keep smiling pal. Looking forward to watching more rides.

Thanks for sharing Alex. Always best to talk about these things and I really hope things turn round for the better mate.
