Vitus Vitesse Evo review

Jan 2016 · Matthew Loveridge

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

Highs
  • Stiff, racy and rewarding frameset

  • Value for money

Lows
  • 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?

Highs
  • Amazing Value

  • Light

  • Stiff

  • Handles well

  • Well balanced in the geometry

Lows
  • An 11-28 cassette would be better
