Summary
The Vitus Venon is an endurance road bike that offers a mix of performance and comfort, with reviews highlighting its value for money, lightweight construction, and responsive handling. While it excels in providing a stiff and efficient ride, some reviewers note a hard ride quality over rough surfaces and a mix-and-match component spec that may not satisfy all riders. The bike is praised for its ability to handle long distances with minimal fatigue, making it a solid choice for endurance riding.
Great value for money
Lightweight construction
Responsive handling
Comfortable over long distances
Solid frame and finishing kit
Hard ride quality over rough surfaces
Mix-and-match component spec
Average brakes
Lifeless wheels
Sluggish initial acceleration
At 8.3kg for a 55cm bike it’s also commendably light.
Cycling WeeklyThe Vitus Venon proves that as long as you’re basically competent with a set of Allen keys and can work out appropriate bar position and saddle height yourself (or with a friend) it could be a really smart move too.
BikeRadarThe Venon is a bit of a revelation.

The lightness of its ride and its smooth-rolling comfort – apart from the bar – make it an extremely capable endurance machine, and one we’d happily employ for day-long events.. .
Buttery smooth ride, well equipped for the cash
Overly stiff bar, maybe not as exciting as some

Retailing at £1799.99 the Vitus Venon VR Disc packs a lot of bike into a very competitively priced package. We travelled to Calpe with Chain Reaction Cycles to try out the new bike with cycling legend Sean Kelly.
Intelligently specced
Cable brakes preferable over hydraulic at this price point
Very good geometry
Fun to ride
Excellent value
Comfortable
A little heavy
