Summary
The Vitus Vitesse is a race-oriented bike that offers superb performance and value, with a stiff, responsive frame that excels in power transfer and handling. It's praised for its competitive pricing, choice between rim and disc brakes, and stable, predictable handling at high speeds. However, some riders note a muted ride quality and extra weight with disc brakes, along with limited tire clearance and a firm ride over rough surfaces.

Stiff, racy and rewarding frameset
Value for money

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?

Stiff
Handles well
