Vitus ZX-1 EVO RED eTap Road BikeEquipped with SRAM’s top of the range Red Etap 2x12 speed wireless groupset and built around a redesigned full carbon fibre frameset, this pro-level version of the Vitus ZX-1 road bike will fire you to the top step of the podium. It’s UCI approved and to enhance it further, it comes with an aerodynamic Reynolds AR58/62 DB Carbon wheelset.Advanced Aero Road Bike FrameVitus has done the testing and know that the EVO exhibits up to 45% less drag than the previous model. But that means nothing until you unleash it outside and feel it for yourself. In the world of aero bikes, amongst all the jargon and data, it's easy to lose sight of what really matters. That to feel fast is to be fast, and you can't feel fast in a wind tunnel. Fast Accelerating Carbon Fibre FramesetThe pleasure of speed only exists in the real world. Out there on the road. The sensation of putting power through your pedals and feeling the bike surge underneath you. And the faster you go, the easier it becomes. That's where the ZX-1 EVO excels. That's the bike working with you as the road snakes and the wind changes. That's aero. Aero Riding PositionThe performance geometry slots the rider into a naturally aerodynamic position, so whether racing flat-out, sprinting for road signs or charging on the front of the chaingang, the EVO gathers momentum quickly and holds speed with ease. Vitus has made this bike fast. They know it rides fast. The rest is up to you.Key Features: Race-Fit geometry SL UD Carbon aero frame and fork with integrated seat clamp Full internal cable routing SRAM Red eTap AXS HRD groupset Reynolds AR58/62 DB Carbon wheelset Vision Metron 5D ACR Carbon cockpit Features: Frame: ZX-1 EVO Carbon, SL UD Carbon, UCI Approved, Internal Cable Routing, 12mm x 142mm axle, Flat Mount Fork: ZX-1 EVO Carbon, SL UD Carbon, UCI Approved, Tapered Steerer, 100 x 12mm, Flat Mount, Size Specific Offset Headset: FSA/Vitus ACR, Sealed Bearings, 1.5" 36x45 degrees (FSA No.55ACR), Vitus/FSA Headset Cover Handlebar: Vision Metron 5D ACR Integrated Bar/Stem Combo, UD Carbon, XS:400mm S:400mm M:420mm L:420mm XL:420mm XXL:420mm Stem: Vision Metron 5D Acr Integrated Bar/Stem Combo, 125mm drop, - 6 degrees, XS:100mm, S:100mm, M:110mm, L:110mm, XL:120mm, XXL:120mm Grip(Tape): Vitus Super Grip, Anti Slip Wheelset: Reynolds AR58/AR62 DB Carbon Carbon Clincher Wheelset Front Rim: Reynolds AR58, Carbon, TubelessReady, Disc Brake, Rim Depth: 58mm, Inner Rim Width: 19mm, Outer Rim Width: 28mm Rear Rim: Reynolds AR62, Carbon, TubelessReady, Disc Brake, Rim Depth: 62mm, Inner Rim Width: 21mm, Outer Rim Width: 30mm Front Hub: Reynolds GW TR3, 100 x 12mm, Centre Lock Rear Hub: Reynolds GW TR3, 142 x 12mm, Centre Lock, XD-R Freehub Front Tyre: Michelin Power Cup Classic TS TLR, 700c x 25c, Tubeless Ready Rear Tyre: Michelin Power Cup Classic TS TLR, 700c x 25c, Tubeless Ready Spokes: Reynolds Sprint 2x Lacing, External Brass Nipples Chain: SRAM Force D1 Crankset: SRAM Red D1 DUB, 48/35T, XS:165mm S:170mm M:172.5mm L:172.5mm XL:175mm XXL: 175mm Bottom Bracket: SRAM DUB BB386, DUB for BB386EVO Front Brake: SRAM Red eTap AXS D1 Disc, Hydraulic Disc, Flat Mount Rear Brake: SRAM Red eTap AXS D1 Disc, Hydraulic Disc, Flat Mount Rotors: SRAM Paceline, Front:160mm, Rear:140mm Front Derailleur: SRAM Red eTap AXS, 2x12 Speed, Braze-On Rear Derailleur: SRAM Red eTap AXS, 12 Speed, Short Cage Left Shifter: SRAM Red eTap AXS, 2x12 Speed Right Shifter: SRAM Red eTap AXS, 12 Speed Freewheel: SRAM XG 1270 D1, 10-33T Saddle: Vitus Race Performance, CRN-Ti Rail, Pressure Relief Channel Seat Post: ZX-1 EVO Aero, +20mm/-2mm Offset, XS/S: 300mm M/L: 350mm XL/XXL: 400mm Seat Screw: ZX-1 EVO Integrated, Internal Wedge System Weight: Medium: 7.8kgTechnologies:Full Monocoque Frame: The ZX-1 EVO features a true monocoque frame, manufactured as a single piece.

The Aethos line promises three things—exceptional light weight perfectly-balanced ride characteristics and undeniable style—and this Aethos pro is no exception. Aethos: Billions of calculations in the pursuit of one thing—the perfect ride. Spec’d with SRAM’s intuitive Force eTAP AXS that delivers clean crisp shifts and Roval’s Alpinist wheels mated to DT Swiss 350 hubs and your left with a no-fuss build that delivers mile after mile. The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel light weight and style—from accelerating up steep pitches and descending technical descents to all-day saddle comfort on even the longest coffee rides the Aethos hits the mark. But how you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past we’ve subtly altered these shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance all without affecting weight or durability. Pair that with an entirely new layup and process that we’ve perfected over multiple decades and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams S-Works size 56cm). The Aethos is more than just a new bike it’s the first of a new breed. A featherweight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring ride characteristics which is why we’ve developed the Aethos to have the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. By studying the flexing and breathing of carbon fiber we were able to discover groundbreaking findings about how forces flow through frames. Just a few pedal strokes and you’ll realize this sublime ride sets a new standard. Every detail from the derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug have been designed with style weight and durability in mind. We’ve also spec’d it with Roval’s all-new Alpinist carbon seatpost and wheels further saving weight and improving ride characteristics. Everything in pursuit for the perfect ride.

We designed the new Tarmac to have the perfect blend of aerodynamics light weight and ride quality to deliver the ride of your life. From using our FreeFoil Shape Library to find the best tube shapes to developing our next generation of Rider-First Engineered™ design the new Tarmac is the culmination of our ever-longing pursuit of speed. It’s a pure-bred race machine with no compromises. One bike to rule them all.The all-new Tarmac Pro delivers the perfect blend of performance and value. A full SRAM Force eTap AXS 1x groupset aides in aero performance will delivering a gear range that provides plenty of range for most rides—a 46t chainring with a 10-36 cassette. Add in Roval’s new Rapide CL with their exceptional stability and aerodynamic prowess and the Tarmac Pro with SRAM eTap is perfect for crit racing smashing the group ride or piloting you to that next PR. Aero is everything—we’ve been preaching it for years and it’s still the driving force for the new Tarmac. In our quest for tube shapes that deliver the fastest frame that the UCI rules allow we took a page out of the Venge development book and utilized our FreeFoil Shape Library. Armed with a library of optimized shapes we turned to the Win Tunnel to plug these shapes into a modular test bike for more testing and validation. The result? A new Tarmac that’s the fastest we’ve tested—45 seconds faster over 40km than the Tarmac SL6. No compromises just pure speed. While aerodynamics were paramount to the Tarmac’s development and to the development of all of our race bikes weight was the co-pilot on this optimal race bike journey. Previously 'aero bikes' always compromised in the weight department—the more drag you reduced the more weight you gained. With the new Tarmac our design philosophy was to keep it at or below the UCI weight limit out of the box with no sacrifices to aerodynamics. And with the help of the FreeFoil Shape Library tools like isotopic FEA analysis and some engineering wizardry by the best engineers in the industry we delivered a frame that weighs a mere 920 grams without giving up a gram of aero stiffness or ride quality. Continuing our quest to develop the perfect race bike we used our Rider-First Engineered™ philosophy to ensure that the new Tarmac is the most balanced best handling Tarmac yet—no matter the size. With an army of the world’s best test riders from our three World Tour Teams — Boels-Dolmans Deceuninck-Quick-Step and Bora-hansgrohe — we made changes to the Tarmac based on their thousands of kilometers on the road. We balanced the ride quality between the front and rear end so even the longest days in the saddle continue to be comfortable—all without giving up anything to the Tarmac’s legendary handling and race-winning snappiness. Building on the learnings from the Venge the new Tarmac utilizes simple integration to create a clean fast cockpit that’s easy to live with. We’ve improved the routing for any configuration — mechanical shifting traditional stems round bars etc. — all while keeping its aerodynamic attributes. These same traits also make the new Tarmac easy to work on and easy to travel with. It’s a win-win.
