Drivetrain efficiency and bearing specialists, CeramicSpeed, have advanced their pursuit to innovate and disrupt the bicycle drivetrain industry.
Since unveiling Driven in 2018 – a revolutionary drivetrain concept which eliminates the chain and derailleurs – the Danish company has recently collaborated with bicycle giant Specialized to put the chainless system through its aero-paces.
To date, the Venge is Specialized’s most aerodynamic road bike, with every aspect of its design challenged and tested. Continually striving to set new benchmarks, the engineers at Specialized opened the door to CeramicSpeed with an interest to examine the true potential of Driven and the aero gains that could be achieved with such a radical drivetrain.
Chris Yu of Specialized spoke of the importance for companies to seek innovation in cycling; “Our motto at Specialized is “Innovate or Die.” This means we are constantly looking at new concepts that offer true performance benefits for our riders. Significant innovations in drivetrains don’t come around often, so we were eager to test the aero performance of Driven in our Win Tunnel.”
Driven, an innovative pinion-drive-shaft design, that utilises 21 CeramicSpeed bearings, was custom designed for the experiment by CeramicSpeed’s Boulder based R&D lab and led by Jason Smith, CTO of CeramicSpeed. Driven was then retrofitted to a Venge for the tests, pitting it against a standard Venge in the renowned Win Tunnel at Specialized’s Morgan Hill campus.
After hours in the tunnel, the results reveal that a Driven equipped Venge is the most aerodynamic road bike ever tested in the Win Tunnel.
