Reviews

Summary

The Vitus Venon is praised for its sporty geometry and stiff frame, making it a competent endurance bike with lively yet predictable handling. It offers great value, especially with higher-end builds featuring Shimano Di2, though some reviews note a slightly harsh ride and budget components like tyres and bar tape. The bike excels in power transfer and stability over long distances, but its comfort and acceleration may not match more refined competitors.

Pros
  • Sporty geometry for an endurance bike

  • Stiff frame with excellent power transfer

  • Great value, especially with Shimano Di2 builds

  • Neutral handling for easy riding

  • 30mm tyre clearance for versatility

Cons
  • Slightly harsh ride quality

  • Budget components like tyres and bar tape

  • Lacks snappy acceleration

  • Comfort could be improved for longer rides

Key Quotes
The Venon offers great value, with Di2 shifting standing out on the spec list.

There’s more than enough frame stiffness to ensure all your wattage arrives at the back wheel.

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

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
