Vitus Razor W Road Bike Claris (2022) - £599.99

Feeling a road bike surge forward when you press on the pedals and the excitement that comes from the ease of acceleration - that’s how road cycling should feel.

Whether you are stepping over your first road bike or pulling away from lights on a regular commute, the Vitus Razor W delivers that same sensation of speed and freedom. And it never gets old.

At every level a road bike should be nimble and comfortable. It should build confidence with stable handling and be equipped with reliable components. The Razor brings the recognisable sleek lines of a lightweight road bike to the everyday cyclist.

A closer look sees a high-quality double-butted aluminium frame paired with a lightweight carbon fork. The traditional rim brakes are easy to maintain and the robust 28mm tyres feel stable and grippy. The addition of mudguard mounts and internal cable routing will protect you and the bike from dirt coming up off the road and the 8-speed Shimano Claris gearing offers plenty of range for encounters with hills. This particular model is equipped with a women-specific Vitus saddle, smaller size range and narrower handlebars. The Razor is an honest, reliable road bike that is a great option for both newcomers to the sport or those looking for something robust and nippy for training and commuting.
