Vitus Energie EVO CRS eTap Force review

Aug 2020 · Jack Luke

The Vitus Energie EVO CRS Force eTap is a supremely capable cyclocross race bike that boasts a very competitive build and a versatile frameset that can be turned to nearly all disciplines

Highs
  • Excellent build for the money

  • Capacious tyre clearances

  • Groovy paint job

  • Mudguard mounts!

Lows
  • The saddle may not be perfect for all-day riding

  • Wide bars may not be to everyone's tastes

  • It would be nice to see a tubeless setup as stock
