The Substance is the bike that will go anywhere you point it; on whatever road surface you choose.
With a dedicated lightweight carbon frame and fork designed to take both 700c and 650b wheels & tyres, the possibilities are endless. The Substance offers you a new way to ride.
With a Hi-Mod unidirectional T-700 Toray carbon frame, tapered headtube, and full carbon forks, the Substance carbon is born tough and light. This bike can go as hard and fast as you want it to or be a lightweight friend for long distance relaxed epic. With the addition of mounts for luggage, mud guards and multiple bottles it’s also capable of the biggest bike packing or touring adventures.
The Substance CRS-2 is fitted with Shimano’s newly released GRX 600 groupset – the world's first dedicated gravel groupset. Paired with the GRX 810 rear mech, this 11 speed 2X groupset delivers a smooth and quiet drivetrain, specifically tuned for gravel / adventure riding
he Substance CRS-2 is fitted with WTB SpeedTerra 650b TCS wheels, with big volume WTB Byway TCS 47mm tyres. We believe 650b is the future of adventure cycling, the large outer diameter keeps your wheels rolling over bumps, whilst the added tyre volume allows you to adjust pressures depending on the terrain for grip, comfort and luggage weight. The Wheels and tyres are tubeless ready, so just install the supplied valves and add sealant if you want to run tubeless.Finishing kit is made up of a Vitus 6061 aluminium handlebar, stem and seat post. The handlebars feature a flat top section for added comfort on and off road, with the Substance CRS-2 featuring a 3-degree bar flare. The bike is finished with a Vitus saddle with Ti rails.
