Ventum confirms its first mountain bike and goes straight for 32-inch wheels

Ventum has officially confirmed its entry into mountain biking with the Aura, a dual suspension bike that directly bets on 32-inch wheels. The American brand has revealed its final name, some of its initial details, and the presentation date: February 13, 2027.

Ventum Aura: the brand's first MTB will have 32-inch wheels and 120 mm of travel

Just three months ago, Ventum surprised with a prototype of a 32-inch MTB that pointed to its debut at the Leadville Trail 100. Those first images showed a dual suspension bike with an unusual configuration, but many questions remained unanswered. Now, the brand itself has confirmed that project will become its first mountain bike.

The new Ventum Aura will feature 32-inch wheels both front and rear and will have a suspension platform with 120 mm of travel.

Until now, Ventum had developed its catalog around triathlon, road, and gravel. Its entry into MTB represents, therefore, an important step for the company, which has also decided to debut with a concept that is still under development within the industry.

From a prototype for Leadville to an MTB with a launch date

The bike we saw in August already allowed us to appreciate some interesting details, such as its inverted Intend Samurai XC 32 fork, the RockShox Deluxe shock, the Syncros handlebar, or prototype FSA wheels of 32".

The design of the frame also caught attention, featuring a monopivot rear suspension system, the most common solution in XC bikes.

For now, Ventum has not confirmed if all those components will be present in the final version. It has also not published weight figures, geometries, complete builds, or prices, but it has made clear the competitive focus of the Aura. On its official website, it explains that it has been developed with the goal of winning major mountain bike races around the world.

On February 13, 2027, we will meet the Ventum Aura

The official presentation is scheduled for February 13, 2027, coinciding with the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo (24HOP), one of the most well-known MTB endurance events in the United States.

Ventum has already set up a specific page for the Aura where it allows registration to receive updates and access information about the launch in advance.
