Summary
The Vitus Vitesse is a race-focused bike that combines stiffness, efficient power transfer, and aggressive geometry for a rewarding ride. It offers exceptional value, with high-quality components and a pro-approved frameset, though some may find its aggressive persona and firm ride over rough roads less comfortable. The bike excels in handling and descending, making it a standout choice for competitive riders.
Stiff, racy and rewarding frameset
Exceptional value for money
High-quality Shimano Ultegra components
Aggressive road bike geometry for efficient power transfer
Excellent handling and descending capabilities
Aggressive geometry may not suit all riders
Firm ride can be jarring on rough roads
Limited tire clearance restricts versatility
Not the lightest option in its category
The Vitus Vitesse Evo is not the stiffest, lightest or most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. It is however a superb combination of all the attributes you would want in a road bike, delivering Pro performance at an amazing price.
Cycling WeeklyThis feels more like a pukka race bike than any of the other three bikes we tested at the same time.

A generous spec and a pro-approved frameset make this quite the bargain. Buy if you want a great deal on a proper, pro-approved race bike
Stiff, racy and rewarding frameset
Value for money
Focused and aggressive persona won’t suit everyone
Looks a little… ordinary?

We travelled to Calpe to test ride the new Vitus Vitesse Evo. The bike used by the An Post Chain Reaction Team. On paper the bike offers amazing value, but is there a catch?
Amazing Value
Light
Stiff
Handles well
Well balanced in the geometry
An 11-28 cassette would be better

High performance, good looking, lightweight race machine slightly let down by average brakes and bottom bracket flex at top end efforts
