Summary
The Vitus Zenium is a race-oriented bike that combines performance with comfort, offering a carbon frame and fork, efficient gear ranges, and hydraulic disc brakes across various builds. It's praised for its aggressive yet comfortable riding position, making it suitable for long rides and sharp climbs. While it delivers great value for its spec, some reviews note the wheels and weight as areas for improvement.
Carbon frame and fork for lightweight durability
Hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power
Aggressive yet comfortable riding position
Good value for the component spec
Wide tyres enhance ride comfort
Wheels are often cited as needing upgrades
Higher weight compared to some competitors
Firmer ride than some endurance-focused bikes
Hydraulic disc braking is the gold standard in stopping power.
A bike that's comfortable without being slow, climbs with ease despite not being feather-light and is always fun to ride
This really is a step-change for a £1,000 bike.

Creaking bottom bracket

The Vitus Zenium CRI is a great bike for the money and one that any rider should be happy on for all-out efforts and all day rides alike
Climbs well
Great handling
All day comfort
Reasonable value for a Di2-equipped bike
Strong aesthetic
If some weight could be shaved off it would excel
Di2 junction box should be hidden away and cabling tidied up

Vitus specs the Zenium CR with a full Shimano 105 hydraulic groupset
105 groupset for 11 speeds
Wide tyres help smooth the road
105 hydraulic braking is powerful and effective
Rather lacklustre wheels
Highish weight
