Summary

The Vitus Vitesse is a race-focused bike that combines stiffness, efficient power transfer, and aggressive geometry for a rewarding ride. It offers exceptional value, with high-quality components and a pro-approved frameset, though some may find its aggressive persona and firm ride over rough roads less comfortable. The bike excels in handling and descending, making it a standout choice for competitive riders.

Pros
  • Stiff, racy and rewarding frameset

  • Exceptional value for money

  • High-quality Shimano Ultegra components

  • Aggressive road bike geometry for efficient power transfer

  • Excellent handling and descending capabilities

Cons
  • Aggressive geometry may not suit all riders

  • Firm ride can be jarring on rough roads

  • Limited tire clearance restricts versatility

  • Not the lightest option in its category

Key Quotes
The Vitus Vitesse Evo is not the stiffest, lightest or most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. It is however a superb combination of all the attributes you would want in a road bike, delivering Pro performance at an amazing price.

This feels more like a pukka race bike than any of the other three bikes we tested at the same time.

Vitus Vitesse Evo review

ene 2016 · Matthew Loveridge

A generous spec and a pro-approved frameset make this quite the bargain. Buy if you want a great deal on a proper, pro-approved race bike

Highs
  • Stiff, racy and rewarding frameset

  • Value for money

Lows
  • Focused and aggressive persona won’t suit everyone

  • Looks a little… ordinary?

We travelled to Calpe to test ride the new Vitus Vitesse Evo. The bike used by the An Post Chain Reaction Team. On paper the bike offers amazing value, but is there a catch?

Highs
  • Amazing Value

  • Light

  • Stiff

  • Handles well

  • Well balanced in the geometry

Lows
  • An 11-28 cassette would be better

High performance, good looking, lightweight race machine slightly let down by average brakes and bottom bracket flex at top end efforts
