The R1 is the latest complete bike from Kinesis UK, following on the success of the G2 complete gravel bike and heavily influenced by our award winning Kinesis RTD and 4S road frames. The R1 is a 1x road bike aimed riders of all abilities and experiences.1x Road Bike for all rider abilities and experienceFor cyclists craving simplicity, reliability and the capability of a 1x DrivetrainClearance for 34c Tyres (brand depending). 30c with mudguardsPannier rack and full mudguard mountsFeaturing Kinesis Rider Fit GeometrySemi-Sloping Top Tube on Smallest sizeWith the MTB and Cyclocross bikes now firmly entrenched with 1x and the burgeoning Gravel scene going the same way, we ve seen many road riders experimenting and using 1x Road set ups, including many members of the Kinesis UK Team.The R1 is aimed at the cyclist craving simplicity, reliability and the capability a 1x drivetrain can offer, in short a bike they can just get on and ride and have fun.The R1 would make a great everyday road bike with an easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain drivetrain for their commute, their spins into the countryside and their trip to the cafe. We have specified the R1 with true ride-anywhere gear ratios, more than enough for the steepest climbs and the fastest descent. The R1 is fitted with drop handlebars with slightly wider bars than you would usually find on a road bike, and they also have a 10 degree flare. Wider bars give more ride control and capacity for bar bags (bike packing) which are very popular now on day rides even. Plus, plenty of room for your handlebar furniture (lights, GPS, bell, Phone bracket etc)We ve also specified room for up to 34c tyres (brand depending), or 30c tyres with full mudguards and mounts for a pannier rack. The R1 features our Kinesis Rider Fit Geometry to give better fit and more consistent handling for a wider range of riders. The smallest size has a semi sloping top tube for greater seat post extension increasing the comfort. Longer reaches (recommended for use with shorter stems) mean there is less toe overlap on the smaller sizes and improves the handling on the larger sizes eliminating the need to run a long stem to achieve the correct fit.Size Chart:

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.

At its core, a double-butted aluminium frame and RockShox suspension 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, the build also includes a dropper post for maximum freedom of movement on the steepest terrain. 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 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.Strong, Lightweight and Versatile Gravel BikeThis 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.
