This versatile, efficient and stylish adventure bike features a Tange Steel frame at its core that's equipped with a Rondo TwinTip 2.0 Carbon fork and a SRAM Apex 11-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 11-42T cassette and PRO 5.0 FM cable-actuated hydraulic disc brakes. It rolls upon Rondo Superlight Aluminium wheels wrapped in WTB Nano tyres, giving you an exceptional balance of durability, comfort, traction and control. SRAM Apex 1x11-Speed Groupset with PRO 5.0 FM Disc Brakes Power is applied via a SRAM Apex 1x11-Speed drivetrain with a wide-ranging 11-42T cassette. This transmission gives gears to rocket up the steep hills, speed along forest trails and provides the optimum gears whether you're riding on the tarmac or the trail. It features an exceptional braking performance from PRO 5.0 FM disc brakes that ensure dependable braking power in all weather and terrain conditions. PRO 5.0 FM caliper brakes are powerful, mechanically actuated hydraulic brakes with full CNC construction. The hydraulic system is fully sealed and maintenance free and the pistons use extra durable, cold weather resistant seals for extended durability in all weather conditions. Due to tight tolerances and durable sealing, the return action of pistons may seem slow at first, but this effect disappears after a period of break-in. This does not affect the performance or braking power in any way. Durable, Lightweight and Stylish Tange Steel Frame The Ruut ST 2 is a classic bike that is comfortable, versatile and tough. This model features a light Tange steel frame at a more accessible price point. Equipped with tough components built to last, including reliable and easy to maintain mechanical TRP brakes, a SRAM Apex drivetrain, Rondo alloy gravel wheels on WTB Nano tyres.

The Ruut Ti provides exceptional stability, comfort and poise for loose terrains, fast trails and long days in the saddle, the Ruut Ti is ideal for exploring, racing and touring. It is fitted with a Shimano GRX 1x11-Speed groupset that features a wide-ranging 10-42-tooth cassette for smooth and efficient gear shifting and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Versatile, Dependable and Stylish Gravel Bike The Ruut range was born from the need to have a versatile bike. One that would be comfortable enough for backpacking and long-distance riding, but at the same time would retain a clearly sporty character. At Rondo, they are all competitive riders - they ride fast, they race - but they don't need a bike for the Cyclocross (CX) World's. What they want from a drop-bar bike is to be able to go long, and go fast, especially on rough roads. So, after over two years of development, Rondo came up with a tool that is the ultimate solution for real-world riders. The RUUT TI is one of Rondo's most aggressive off-road bikes, designed for real-world riders and proper racing fun. Made with a titanium frame that is built to withstand steep descents and gnarly trails. The Spank Wing 12 Vibrocore handlebars feature a comfortable flat top filled with foam to absorb impact on uneven surfaces. New X-Wide HUNT gravel wheels with straight pull spokes and extra-wide 25mm internal rims ensure superior grip and better stability. And it also looks fantastic. Rondo X Hunt Wheels and Vittoria Terreno Tyres Engineered and equipped for riding off-road trail and gravel tracks, this ride rolls upon Rondo X Hunt wheels wrapped in Vittoria Terreno tyres. This wheel/tyre combo gives fast-rolling and confidence-inspiring grip across all terrains. Plus, these wheels are held in place by stiff and reliable 12mm thru-axles and a quality Rondo finishing kit provides top-level comfort and style for wherever you ride. Twin-Tip Fork Technology for Easy-Adjust Geometry In a world-first design for drop bar bikes, the Ruut Ti features Rondo’s “TwinTip” forks, which enable the rider to change the geometry to suit the terrain/riding type. This is thanks to their adjustable dropouts, which can be set in the “HI” setting for steeper angles for a low and aggressive road bike feel, or the “LO” setting for a slightly longer wheelbase and slacker angles, making it ideal for endurance or off-road adventure riding. Thanks to the unique TwinTip fork you can change your position and adjust the steering character of the bike. The first setting, with steeper angles, a smaller trail and a lower riding position will be the choice for racing and dynamic, sporty riding on smooth roads. The alternative fork setting gives the bike slacker angles, a longer trail and a bit more relaxed riding position, perfect for long-distance adventure riding and endurance training. It also gives the rider a lot of confidence in challenging off-road terrain, especially on fast, steep downhills. Built, Tuned and Ready to Ride Rest assured that each bike is fully built and tuned by Wiggle's team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure your bike arrives in perfect condition. We supply all bikes with a set of plastic pedals, a pedal wrench and a multi-tool kit. Find out which size fits you by clicking the size chart tab.

In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.

Vitus Energie VR Cyclocross Bike (Advent)The Energie VR is the ideal cyclocross (CX) race bike for newcomers to the sport and as a second bike for the seasoned racer. It features a robust and lightweight aluminium frame and carbon fork for a sublime balance of agility, responsiveness and control. It also is equipped with a fast-shifting Microshift Advent X 1x10-Speed groupset and powerful Tektro mechanical disc brakes. And it rolls upon Tubeless Ready WTB ST Light i21 TCS rims wrapped in high-grip, Tubeless Ready Vee XCX all-terrain tyres.Agile, Comfortable and Dependable Cyclocross Race BikeControlled, comfortable and reliable, and with a race pedigree passed down from its full carbon siblings, the Vitus Energie VR Advent 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. Aluminium Frame and Full-Carbon ForkWhether 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. Cyclocross Race Optimised 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?
