Vitus Energie Pro review

Jun 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Top value, stable, surefooted, rough-smoothing cyclocross machine. Buy if you don’t mind DIY setup if it gets you a super-smooth, top-value all-rounder

Highs
  • Up-to-date carbon frame and a forgiving ride

Lows
  • Noisy Avid rotors

  • You’ll have to set it up yourself
