Vitus Substance CRS-1 Gravel Bike (Apex)The Substance CRS-1 from Vitus is a versatile gravel road bike that is ideal for gravel racing and off-road riding. It has a full-carbon frameset that is dropper seatpost compatible and features pannier rack mounts. A SRAM Apex 1x11-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 11-42T cassette and Apex hydraulic disc brakes gives you efficiency, versatility and exceptional braking power for all-terrain riding. It is also rolls upon WTB Speedterra Tubeless Ready wheels wrapped in Tubeless Ready Maxxis Rambler tyres.Stylish, Versatile and Fun Gravel BikeThe Vitus Substance loads your ride with freedom and choice. It expands your world, opening up new possibilities to ride and explore where otherwise you might not have looked. Unshackled from the same old routes, each ride reveals new ways ahead, like a fresh map - that bridleway to who-knows-where, the gravel track through the woods or the rougher shortcut that you know is quicker but that other bikes couldn't handle.Lightweight, Agile and Dependable Full Carbon FramesetWhether embarking on a gravel race or simply staying light for a mixed-terrain local loop, the Substance is capable of adapting to suit your ride. At its core, a lightweight carbon frame and fork are tuned for comfort on long days and across varied surfaces, aided by big volume tyres that soften the bumps and add traction over rutted or loose tracks. With compatibility for 1X or 2X drivetrains and either 700c or 650b wheels, you can really fine-tune the setup to best fit where you are riding. And if ultra-racing or multi-day expeditions are your thing, the frame has ample mounts for luggage, waterbottles and mudguards. For those remote rides where water, food and spares might be hard to come by, you can always load up with whatever you need to reach the next supply point. This isn't simply about the same cliches of getting off the beaten track or going in search of the road less travelled, because the Substance is more than a gravel road race bike. It broadens your horizons, delivering richer experiences and powerful lasting memories. It's a bike that enables you to do more. It's a bike that gives you options. The Substance empowers a new mindset, one that entices you to break away from routine and to ride where you want to ride, unrestricted.
