Summary
The Vitus Zenium is a race-oriented bike that excels in providing a smooth yet swift ride, with a carbon frame and fork that offer comfort and efficiency. It's praised for its aggressive geometry, excellent handling, and value for money, especially in models equipped with Shimano 105 or Ultegra Di2 groupsets.

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

Plenty of speed and performance married to neutral handling, a bike that anyone can ride fast
