Vitus Energie EVO FORCE Cyclocross BikeReady for the real world, the Vitus Energie EVO FORCE Cyclocross Bike is the one to race laps of a grassy park in the rain, slide into muddy corners, power through sand and compete in the worst winter weather. At its core, this frame has the clean lines and sleek aesthetic of a modern carbon race bike. But its best side is not the one leaning pristine against an immaculate garage wall or sparkling for Instagram.This bike is for the passionate. This is for those who come alive on cold Sunday mornings, who delight in the rush of exciting racing. This is for those looking to step-up their performance without compromising the basic joy of riding.Full Carbon CX Bike with Prime Baroudeur V2 WheelsetThe top tube is slightly longer and the stem a touch shorter than before, keeping weight distribution slightly back from the front end, so the handling feels snappy and responsive - this is immediate control, whatever the conditions. Frame clearance around the Prime Baroudeur V2 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 for your pit crew, and when the racing is done you can spray it down quickly and put it straight into the car.Removable Seat Stay BridgeA 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 an innovative removable seat stay bridge, you can add mudguards and carry on with your winter training and year-round commuting. However hard the ride, with the Energie the fun is always turned right up. Why wouldn’t you want to keep riding this bike?Features: Frame: Energie EVO Carbon, SL UD Carbon, UCI Approved, Internal Cable Routing, Removeable Seat-Stay Bridge, Removeable Front Deraileur Mount, Integrated Seat Clamp, Integrated Mudguard Mounts, 142mm x 12mm axle Fork: Energie EVO Carbon, SL UD Carbon, Tapered Steerer, 100 x 12mm, Integrated Mudguard Mounts Headset: ACROS Aix 322 R3, Sealed Bearings, OD48, 1 1/8” - 1 ½”, 41.8 / 28.6 - 52 / 40 Handlebar: Prime Primavera Aero Carbon, UD Carbon, 76.5mm Reach, 122mm Drop, XS:400mm S:400mm M:420mm L:420mm XL:440mm Stem: Prime Doyenne Lightweight, 6061 Aluminium, bar bore 31.8mm, +/- 5 degrees, XS:80mm S:80mm M:90mm L:90mm XL:100mm Grip(Tape): Vitus SuperGrip, Anti Slip Wheelset: Prime Baroudeur V2 Disc, Aluminium, Clincher, Tubebess Ready, 100mm x 12mm front hub spacing, 142mm x 12mm rear hub spacing, Centrelock Disc Brake, HG Freehub Front Rim: Prime Baroudeur V2 Disc, 700c, 24 Hole Rear Rim: Prime Baroudeur V2 Disc, 700c, 24 Hole Front Hub: Prime Baroudeur V2 Disc, 24 Hole, 100mm x 12mm Thru Axle, Centrelock Rear Hub: Prime Baroudeur V2 Disc, 24 Hole, 142mm x 12mm Thru Axle, Centrelock, HG Freehub Front Tyre: Maxxis All Terrane, 700c x 33mm, Tubeless Ready Rear Tyre: Maxxis All Terrane, 700c x 33mm, Tubeless Ready Chain: KMC X11, 11 Speed Crankset: SRAM Force 1 Carbon, X-SYNC 40T, XS:170mm S:170mm M:172.5mm L:172.5mm XL:175mm Bottom Bracket: TRiPEAK 386-24, BB 386EVO for 24mm axle Front Brake: SRAM Force HRD, Hydraulic Disc Rear Brake: SRAM Force HRD, Hydraulic Disc Rotors: SRAM Centreline, Front:160mm, Rear:160mm, Centrelock Front Derailleur: N/A Rear Derailleur: SRAM Force 1, 11 Speed, Long Cage Left Shifter: N/A Right Shifter: SRAM Force 1 HRD, 11 Speed Freewheel: SRAM PG-1130, 11-36T, 11 Speed Saddle: Vitus Race Performance, CRN-Ti Rail, Pressure Relief Channel Seat Post: Prime Primavera Carbon, 27.2mm x 350mm, 10mm Offset Seat Screw: Energie EVO Integrated, Internal Wedge System Chain Guide: Vitus CX 1X Guide, Front Derailleur Mounting Weight: Medium Option: 8.3kgEasy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
