Summary
The Vitus Venon is a well-regarded endurance bike that offers a comfortable and stable ride, suitable for long distances and sportives.

Comfortable for long rides with vibration absorbing qualities
High modulus carbon frame and fork for a smooth ride
Confident handling with thru-axles adding rigidity
Quality components and good value for money
Interchangeable rear dropouts for flexibility in wheel configuration
Non-hydraulic disc brakes on some builds
Basic cockpit and finishing kit
Internal cables can be noisy on rough roads
Weight is on the heavier side for some models
If you’re after a comfortable machine for longer rides and sportives, which doesn’t compromise too much on position, the Venon Disc is a good contender.
Cycling WeeklyThe Venon is a bike with a huge amount to offer, although the quality of the frame isn’t quite matched by some of the component choices.
CyclistIt’s smooth ride quality, excellent wheel-tyre combo and confident handling would put many other far more expensive bikes to shame.

Jun 2018 · Guy Kesteven
Contemporary frame but overweight, under equipped and bruising over rougher roads. Buy if you want a tall, stiff ride
Stiff frame with plenty of tyre clearance
Cable brakes, 10-speed gearing and heavy wheels, thumping rather than forgiving ride, no mudguard mounts
Mar 2018 · Stu Kerton
Well-mannered mile-muncher for those who like a stiff ride
Aug 2017 · Matthew Page
A carbon-framed endurance bike that's built to go the distance
Very stable ride
Especially downhill
Well-balanced comfort front and rear
RS404 disc brakes are great in all conditions
Internal cables are noisy on rough roads
Cockpit and finishing kit are basic
With thin bar tape and handlebars
Disappointing to have toe overlap on a 54cm bike
