Full suspension speed and comfort is accompanied by fun and performance with the Rapide FS.
New for 2021 is the Vitus Rapide FS, this is a bike made for all out speed on the roughest of courses. Whether it is an XC sprint, marathon epic, or all-day mission, this bike is designed to go fast. Equipped with Shimano drivetrain and brakes, Rockshox SID suspension, and Maxxis racing series tyres, it is ready to chase the top step of the podium.
This model means business with its fiery racing red colour matching the performance on offer from Rockshox SID SL Ultimate forks and SIDLuxe rear shock. Shimano 1x12 speed XT drivetrain is crisp and reliable ensuring you get the shift you need, with the powerful Shimano M8100 XT brakes.
