Bike PerfectIf I only had the space for one bike in my life to cover off-road and gravel riding, I’d find it very hard to turn away from the Venon EVO.
BikeRadarThe Venon EVO-GR is a great gravel bike but the fact that it achieves that by being an awesome road bike, too, is an impressive trait.
off.road.ccWhat I love most about the Venon EVO is that, when it's set up like a road bike, it feels and looks like a very fast road bike. And when it's set up as a gravel bike, it feels like a fast gravel bike. There are no compromises at all, and that is a very impressive thing to achieve.

The latest gravel machine from Vitus is the Venon EVO-GR and it is an absolute belter. Actually designed as an ‘all-road’ bike, the Venon’s racy nature makes it a blast to ride on fast-flowing trails and tracks, and anywhere else you want to get the power down. And for the value hunters among you - it’s got that covered, too. Five things that weren't cool - until gravel happened Gravel bike suspension and dropper posts - do you need them?

Great interpretation of 'all-road' – exceptional performance and handling whatever the terrain
Awesome performance
Well thought out geometry
Good spec for the money
Versatile but not compromised
Full mudguards will require fettling to fit

Fast acceleration and great pace-holding capability
Sharp responsive handling
Lightweight
Decent 45mm max tire clearance
Well-thought-out and great value spec
Mounts for mudguards
Model above arguably offers better value
