01
Origin
The Vento is Kross road identity. Launched to serve the growing Central/Eastern European road cycling market, it matured from an entry model into a product line reaching carbon-frame electronic-groupset territory. The key differentiator Kross emphasises is in-house Polish assembly: each aluminum Vento receives a consistently matched Shimano groupset, assembled at the Przasnysz plant rather than boxed in Asia.
