I have been without a road bike for a month, following a visit from the local low lives who decided to empty my garage of all my favourite carbon toys, i am now delighted to be riding my new machine - the Blackhawk Venom II. Ive done well over 1000 miles on it and tested it on all kinds of roads. This includes Wrynose pass, Hardknott pass and Honister pass in the Lakes. Ive raced it twice and it rides like a dream.
The venom gives a very responsive ride that accelerates quickly out of corners. The bb30 bottom bracket is very stiff and extremely positive in the sprints. The power put down through the pedals is delivered to the road without wasted effort. The slim rear stays compliment this well, giving a comfortable ride.
The SRAM Force groupset looks good on the Venom and works faultlessly further enhancing the smooth ride.
This is certainly one lightweight race ready road bike which punches way above it's price tag, out performing many top end carbon race machines.
