Looks 1000000x cleaner if you ask my opinion. How can someone not like a Venge cockpit?
It started on Aero bikes & is becoming more and more popular on race/climb bikes. I saw it on the Scott Addict RC 2020 & on the Trek Emonda and it's so nice. It seems to be complicated to develop the proper technology though; Giant has had a lot of issues in the past with his. Every LBS I talked to told me they hated servicing Propel for that reason.

A what??
