Summary
The Vitus Zenium is a race-oriented bike that excels in providing a smooth yet swift ride, with a UCI-certified carbon frame and excellent brake control. It offers great value, especially in models equipped with electronic groupsets, and is praised for its climbing efficiency and all-day comfort. However, some reviews note the need for wheel upgrades and mention minor issues like a creaking bottom bracket and squishy saddle padding.

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
