Vitus Substance 2 Gravel Bike (Microshift)The Substance 2 from Vitus is a superb off-road bike for gravel racing and general off-road trail riding. It features a strong and lightweight high-quality aluminium frame, carbon fibre forks and a 2x8-Speed groupset from Microshift. It is also equipped with Tektro mechanical disc brakes, and it rolls upon tubeless ready WTB ST i23 TSC rims wrapped in all-terrain Vee Rail Sport tyres.Versatile, Stylish 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.Microshift 8-Speed Groupset and Tektro Disc BrakesWhether embarking on a fast gravel race or simply staying light for a mixed-terrain local loop, the Substance 2 with dependable Microshift components can adapt to suit your ride. At its core, a double-butted aluminium frame and carbon 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. This model is setup with a 2x drivetrain, but the frame is also compatible with 1X groupsets and either 700c or 650b wheels, so you can really fine-tune the bike to best fit where you are riding. For longer rides with gaps between supply points, there are mounts for luggage and water bottles, as well as for mudguards to shield you from mud and water.Whether embarking on a fast gravel race or simply staying light for a mixed-terrain local loop, the Substance 2 with dependable Microshift components can adapt to suit your ride.

Vitus E-Substance Carbon Gravel eBike (Rival)The Vitus E-Substance Carbon Rival is a durable, lightweight and stylish electric bike (E-Bike) that is ideal for road riding, gravel racing and long-distance touring. Engineered with a full-carbon frameset equipped with a Fazua Ride 50 Trail electric drive unit and a fast-shifting SRAM Rival 1x11-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 10-42T cassette and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Vitus has also equipped it with Tubeless Ready Prime Kanza wheels wrapped in Maxxis Rambler 650b tyres.Versatile and Stylish Carbon Gravel E-BikeThe Vitus E-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.Fazua Ride 50 Trail Electric Motor DriveWhether embarking on a gravel race or simply staying light for a mixed-terrain local loop, the E-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 the compact Fazua electric drive system with three assistance levels up to 250 watts. The latest top-tube controller lets you easily manage performance and with everything cleanly integrated, the Substance retains its modern look. Paired with SRAM's smooth Rival 1X drivetrain, the frame is also compatible with 700c or 650b wheels, so you can fine-tune the setup to best fit where you are riding. For tough rides where water, food and spares might be hard to come by, rack mounts enable you to load up with whatever's required 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 E-Substance is more than a gravel road bike. Retaining the essence of what the Substance stands for, the addition of the electric drive system simply opens up the possibility for you to do more. It's a bike that gives you options. The Substance family empowers a new mindset, one that entices you to break away from routine and to ride where you want to ride, unrestricted.

Vitus E-Substance Carbon Gravel eBike (Rival)The Vitus E-Substance Carbon Rival is a durable, lightweight and stylish electric bike (E-Bike) that is ideal for road riding, gravel racing and long-distance touring. Engineered with a full-carbon frameset equipped with a Fazua Ride 50 Trail electric drive unit and a fast-shifting SRAM Rival 1x11-Speed groupset with a wide-ranging 10-42T cassette and powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Vitus has also equipped it with Tubeless Ready Prime Kanza wheels wrapped in Maxxis Rambler 650b tyres.Versatile and Stylish Carbon Gravel E-BikeThe Vitus E-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.Fazua Ride 50 Trail Electric Motor DriveWhether embarking on a gravel race or simply staying light for a mixed-terrain local loop, the E-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 the compact Fazua electric drive system with three assistance levels up to 250 watts. The latest top-tube controller lets you easily manage performance and with everything cleanly integrated, the Substance retains its modern look. Paired with SRAM's smooth Rival 1X drivetrain, the frame is also compatible with 700c or 650b wheels, so you can fine-tune the setup to best fit where you are riding. For tough rides where water, food and spares might be hard to come by, rack mounts enable you to load up with whatever's required 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 E-Substance is more than a gravel road bike.

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.
