Vitus Energie EVO RIVAL eTap Cyclocross BikeReady for the real world, the Vitus Energie EVO RIVAL eTap 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 bike with wireless SRAM Rival eTap AXS components 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.Lightweight Full Carbon CX BikeWhether podium or mid-pack - it doesn’t matter. This bike is for those driven by that intoxicating excitement for race day. This is for those who come alive when that number is pinned on, whether lining up on frosted grass or ankle-deep in swampy mud. This is for those looking for electronic shifting performance and refined race geometry to deliver a competitive ride with no compromises on fun. Whether racing for the podium or just for fun, the frame is loaded with thoughtfully engineered features that are uniquely designed and refined for the demands of cyclocross. A flatter top tube sits comfortably into the shoulder and single-entry cable routing reduces penetration of dirt so that performance is not reduced by wet conditions or a jet wash. A revised carbon lay-up improves the stiffness for power out of the turns, where it really matters mid-race, while also reducing weight for when you need to carry or charge into a climb.Race-Fit GeometryThe 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 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.

Vitus Energie VRS Cyclocross Bike (Apex)The ideal cyclocross (CX) bike for competitive off-road racing and training rides, the Vitus Energie VRS is a superb all-terrain and all-weather race bike. It features a strong, lightweight and stylish aluminium frame and carbon fork, giving you a superb balance of stability, agility and control anywhere. It is also equipped with a SRAM Apex 1x11-Speed groupset with Apex hydraulic disc brakes. And it rolls fast and stable upon Tubeless Ready WTB ST Light i21 TCS rims wrapped in high-grip Schwalbe X-ONE Allround tyres.SRAM Apex 11-Speed Groupset with Hydraulic Disc BrakesControlled, comfortable and reliable, and with a race pedigree passed down from its full carbon siblings, the Vitus Energie VRS Apex 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. Durable and Versatile Cyclocross Race BikeWhether 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. Responsive and Comfortable 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?

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.
