Start-up Ventum has a single remit; to build triathlon bicycles for people who like to go fast. Co-founders Diaa Nour and Jimmy Seear claim their 2015 bikes are lighter, faster and more technologically advanced than the competition.
Triathlon bicycles
According to Seear: “We don’t start with an existing bike and ask ‘What can we add to sell more bikes?’. Instead, we push ourselves: ‘How can we build the fastest bikes ever made?’ As a result, our bikes are like nothing else on the market. Ventum bikes look different and perform better.”
Ventum claims its prototype outperforms the industry-leading bicycle by more than 20 per cent in preliminary wind tunnel testing. A range of competition-ready bicycles aimed at IRONMAN and Challenge events will be unveiled later this summer.
Insurance for transition areas
When you are taking part in a cycle race or triathlon you are covered against theft, accidental damage and vandalism – including the transition area. The bike does not need to be locked while it is in the transition areas as long as the area is supervised by a marshal (which is usually the case). The insurance also includes 90 days’ cover worldwide.

One simple policy
For over 24 years we have been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA cycle insurance has you covered.
Many cycle insurers offer very limited cover, charging extra for features we believe should come as standard – such as third party cover, personal accident or extension of your cover to family and friends. ETA cycle insurance provides one fully-comprehensive package for total peace of mind, whatever your cycling needs.
Every policy you buy supports the work of the ETA trust, our charity campaigning for a clean, safe and sustainable transport future.
