Vitus Vitesse EVO FORCE ETap Road Bike

Vitus Vitesse EVO FORCE eTap Road Bike

Combining a one-piece monocoque carbon fibre frame with a SRAM Force eTap drivetrain and Reynolds AR46 carbon wheels, this version of the Vitesse EVO road bike is light, agile and brings you ultra-efficient power transfer.

It’s sharp on the climbs, but also agile on descents and capable of holding speed on the flat. To be a great all-round road bike, to win a Grand Tour even, it has to perform everywhere.

The Vitesse has been on a redesign journey, and this updated EVO features Vitus’ latest one-piece carbon frame. Not only does it look clean (and fast!), the seamless design has no joins and there is no extra material being used to bond the frame together, keeping weight down. So you will still get the goosebumps of excitement when you feel it for the first time. “Phwoar! That’s light”. Plus, when you start rolling, you’ll realise that there is so much more going on here to benefit your riding.

The geometry is optimised, giving you control through turns whilst also being responsive to bursts of acceleration or steeper ramps. Stiffness is engineered into the frame where you need it most, so precious energy won’t be wasted – something we all need on those long, hilly days. And the modern frame clearance enables space for a bigger volume tyre as well, smoothing out those real world road surfaces.

The Vitesse EVO is a masterful climber. When you dream of dancing on the pedals, floating up legendary climbs and scorching personal bests, this is the bike you do it on. Then, when you roll over the top and hit the descent, there’s no teetering. No indecision, just pure control. This bike lets you relax and carve the perfect line.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
