Summary
The Vitus Vitesse is a race-focused bike that offers a stiff, fast, and fun ride, with a competitive price point and top-drawer components. While it excels in efficiency and handling, some reviews note it lacks the latest features and may be too firm for some riders. Its value for money and performance-oriented design are frequently praised, though it falls short in comfort and charisma compared to some rivals.

Setting out to create an 'all-round' race bike is a tough mission: has Vitus made a jack of all trades or a master of none?
Top spec for the money
