Vitus Energie VR Cyclocross Bike Apex (2021) - £1,299.99

Our all new aluminium cyclocross machine for training and racing

With its double-butted 6061-T6 aluminium frame and full carbon fork, this extremely capable CX bike offers the perfect balance of control and comfort. Refined geometry including a longer top tube and shorter stem gives the perfect balance of fit and control, whatever the conditions. We've obsessed over the detail with the Energie’s race-ready frameset. From the much-increased mud and tyre clearance to the internal cable routing preventing mud and water ingress, to increase shouldering comfort, this bike has it all.

The Energie VR features a race ready component package for 2021. SRAM's proven 1X APEX drivetrain provides the basis for a superbly equipped bike. The 1 x11 speed gearing gives a big gear range whilst adding simplicity, reliability and low weight. Perfect for taming technical courses. SRAM's APEX 1 rear derailleur features it's proven clutch system, keeping the chain firmly in place, whatever the conditions.

The versatility of a tubeless ready wheelset, comes from the CX specific wheelbuid. Featuring WTB rims and Novatec hubs, fitted with 700c x 33 race ready tyres. Vitus’ own aluminium finishing kit complete this solid package.
