Vitus ZX-1 CRS Aero Disc review

Jan 2020 · Warren Rossiter

With most aero-road machines looking very similar, with design cues, such as dropped seatstays becoming the norm, it’s good to see the Vitus looks a little different, with its more traditional two triangle, diamond-shaped frame.. .

Highs
  • Fast, light handling and well-equipped

Lows
  • A little flex under load up front
