Vitus Venon Disc Tiagra review

Jun 2018 · Guy Kesteven

Contemporary frame but overweight, under equipped and bruising over rougher roads. Buy if you want a tall, stiff ride

Highs
  • Stiff frame with plenty of tyre clearance

Lows
  • Cable brakes, 10-speed gearing and heavy wheels, thumping rather than forgiving ride, no mudguard mounts

Vitus Venon Disc 105 review

Aug 2017 · Matthew Page

A carbon-framed endurance bike that's built to go the distance

Highs
  • Very stable ride

  • Especially downhill

  • Well-balanced comfort front and rear

  • RS404 disc brakes are great in all conditions

Lows
  • 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

  • Quality spec with full 105 groupset

  • Uninspiring paint job
