Vitus Mach 3 VR Urban Bike Claris

Nov 2021 · Matt Lamy

Good flat-barred road bike that will help riders who are scared of drop bars to rack up decent mileage

Highs
  • Fast

  • Smooth rolling

  • Stable at speed

  • Good tyres

Lows
  • A little too stiff at times

  • Better gearing for climbs would have been welcome

  • Only mechanical discs
