Vitus Energie VRS Cyclocross Bike (Apex)The ideal cyclocross (CX) bike for competitive off-road racing and training rides, the Vitus Energie VRS is a superb all-terrain and all-weather race bike. It features a strong, lightweight and stylish aluminium frame and carbon fork, giving you a superb balance of stability, agility and control anywhere. It is also equipped with a SRAM Apex 1x11-Speed groupset with Apex hydraulic disc brakes. And it rolls fast and stable upon Tubeless Ready WTB ST Light i21 TCS rims wrapped in high-grip Schwalbe X-ONE Allround tyres.SRAM Apex 11-Speed Groupset with Hydraulic Disc BrakesControlled, comfortable and reliable, and with a race pedigree passed down from its full carbon siblings, the Vitus Energie VRS Apex is every bit the capable race bike you need for fun and fast cyclocross. This discipline is all about trust - knowing how the bike will feel on slippery grass, knowing that when you press hard on the pedals the acceleration will come, knowing that the steering will be responsive if you hit loose gravel or sand and knowing that even the thickest mud won't hamper your performance. Know that this bike has got your back so you can focus on enjoying the thrill of race day. Durable and Versatile Cyclocross Race BikeWhether racing for a position or with a keenness to cross the finish line, the frame is loaded with thoughtfully engineered features that are uniquely designed and refined for the demands of cyclocross. If you need to carry, the flatter top tube sits comfortably into the shoulder and internal cable-routing reduces penetration of dirt so that performance is not reduced by wet conditions or a jet wash. At the front, a full carbon fork keeps the front end light and enhances comfort, reducing stress on your body as the race progresses. Responsive and Comfortable GeometryWith geometry shared from the top-tier Energie range, the top tube is also slightly longer and the stem a touch shorter, keeping weight distribution slightly back from the front end so the handling feels snappy - immediate control in all conditions. Frame clearance around the wheels is vast, so your speed won't be slowed, nor the bike weighed down by mud. It also makes the bike easy to clean so when the racing is done you can spray it down quickly and put it straight into the car. A Vitus is always best being ridden, not hanging on a wall, waiting or posing. So when you're not lining up for cyclocross, thanks to integrated mudguard mounts you can carry on with your winter training, exploring new roads and year-round commuting. However you ride, with the Energie the fun is always turned right up. Why wouldn't you want to keep riding this bike?

The Energie EVO CRS is ideal for cyclocross racing, off-road trail riding and daily commuting. It's equipped with a fast and precise shifting SRAM Force 1x11-Speed groupset with a 40T chainset, a wide-range cassette and hydraulic disc brakes. Plus, it rolls upon fast-spinning tubeless-ready aluminium Prime Baroudeur Disc wheels wrapped in versatile Maxxis All Terrane tyres. This bike is durable and versatile for any race, training session and off-road adventure. Stylish, Powerful and Lightweight Carbon Cyclocross Race Bike At its core, the Vitus Energie EVO CRS Force has the clean lines and sleek aesthetic of a modern carbon race bike. But its best side is not the one leaning pristine against an immaculate garage wall or sparkling for Instagram. It’s the one ready for the real world - to race laps of a grassy park in the rain, slide into muddy corners, power through sand and compete in the worst winter weather. This bike is for the passionate. This is for those who come alive on cold Sunday mornings, who delight in the rush of exciting racing. This is for those looking to step-up their performance without compromising the basic joy of riding. Ideal for Racing, Training and Off-Road Adventures Whether racing for the podium or just for fun, the frame is loaded with thoughtfully engineered features that are uniquely designed and refined for the demands of cyclocross. A flatter top tube sits comfortably into the shoulder and single-entry cable routing reduces penetration of dirt so that performance is not reduced by wet conditions or a jet wash. A revised carbon lay-up improves the stiffness for power out of the turns, where it really matters mid-race, while also reducing weight for when you need to carry or charge into a climb. Uni-Directional Carbon Fibre Frameset The top tube is slightly longer and the stem a touch shorter than before, keeping weight distribution slightly back from the front end, so the handling feels snappy and responsive - this is immediate control, whatever the conditions. Frame clearance around the Prime Baroudeur wheels is vast, so your speed won’t be slowed, nor the bike be weighed down by mud. It also makes the bike easy to clean for your pit crew, and when the racing is done you can spray it down quickly and put it straight into the car. A Vitus is always best being ridden, not hanging on a wall, waiting or posing. So when you’re not lining up for cyclocross, thanks to an innovative removable seat stay bridge, you can add mudguards and carry on with your winter training and year-round commuting. However hard the ride, with the Energie the fun is always turned right up. Why wouldn’t you want to keep riding this bike? One-piece Monocoque Frame Expertly crafted with no joins, the uniquely layered continuous UD carbon frame is strong and light. And those modern, clean lines look awesome too! Performance Design (previously Race-Fit Geometry) The geometry of top-tier Vitus frames has been carefully calculated to ensure that comfort, aerodynamics and power are balanced, so the ride feel is enhanced for the best performance, and enjoyment, in all conditions. Class-leading Mud Clearance Mud is slow. To combat that we’ve made the clearance between tyre and frame as wide as possible (within UCI-regulations, of course) so the bike won’t get weighed down and your drivetrain won’t clog in those wet and sticky races. Mudguard Mounts The addition of an innovative removable mudguard mount between the seatstays gives you the option to keep using this bike beyond cyclocross racing, be that commuting, winter training or exploring remote lanes.

Terra S is made from Orro’s own specification 4130 Chromoly steel, which is custom drawn and triple butted to offer a versatile combination of strength and low weight. It's paired with a full carbon fibre fork and the latest in gravel componentry. Boasting mounts galore, the Terra S is an ideal gravel bike for fully loaded adventures with bottle cage mounts in all the right places. The two triple braze on bosses in the mainframe accommodate a wealth of new cargo-carrying solutions, as well as provide alternative positions for the classic two-bolt bidon cage. Tough Gravel Bike with a Steel Frame The durability of steel has been proven over centuries of bicycle frame development. Undoubtedly, a steel bike is heavier than its carbon composite or aluminium alloy equivalents can be made to be. However, its high-tensile strength means that it dents instead of cracking, it bends instead of snapping. It is for these reasons that steel is especially popular with touring cyclists. Despite the old-school appearance Terra S is simultaneously modern in its design with features such as: semi-internal cable routing, a tapered headtube, and thru axles. Load it up. Treat it rough. This bike is ready for demanding routes. Although the frame tubes of Terra S maintain the characteristic round and narrow profile of steel, Orro has a slightly oval-shaped top tube to improve the stability of any bike packing bags which have been strapped onto it. And when the next journey is just the commute, dedicated rack and mudguard mounts allow for more comfortable daily cruising. Shimano GRX Gears The Shimano GRX 600 1x11 drivetrain on this model is ideally suited to off-road riding where the single front chain ring reduces mechanical complexity and the chance of chain derailment. The wide ratio 11-42T cassette provides big gear jumps for fast and effective shifting on undulating terrain. Hydraulic disc brakes ensure power and control are always at your fingertips.
