Vitus Vitesse EVO CR eTap AXS Road Bike Rival (2022) - £3,599.99

The Vitus Vitesse EVO CR, with SRAMs latest RIVAL wireless electronic components, is a lightweight racing road bike. But this isn’t just a bike for the rising road, because what goes up must come down. Sharp on the climbs, but also agile on descents and capable of holding speed on the flat. To be a great all-round road bike, to a win a Grand Tour even, it has to perform everywhere.

The Vitesse has been on a redesign journey, and this new EVO features our latest one-piece carbon frame. Not only does it look clean (and fast!), the seamless design has no joins and there is no extra material being used to bond the frame together, keeping weight down. So you will still get the goosebumps of excitement when you feel it for the first time. Then you’ll start rolling and realise that there is so much more going on here to benefit your riding.

The geometry is optimised, giving you control through turns whilst also being responsive to bursts of acceleration or steeper ramps. Stiffness is engineered into the frame where you need it most, so precious energy won’t be wasted - something we all need on those long, hilly days. And the modern frame clearance enables space for a bigger volume tyre as well, smoothing out those real world road surfaces.

The Vitesse EVO is a masterful climber. When you dream of dancing on the pedals, floating up legendary climbs and scorching personal bests, this is the bike you do it on. And when you roll over the top and hit the descent, there’s no teetering. No indecision, just pure control. A bike that lets you relax and carve the perfect line.
