The multi award-winning Lava collection has become Zone3’s endurance staple that uses the very best in Italian and French materials, to repel water, optimise aerodynamics and enhance comfort. The sort is formed from three main materials, including: Aero-Stripe Located on the raglan sleeves and upper back, Aero-Stripe material from Italy is an innovative striped material that improves aerodynamics. The UPF-50 textured material creates turbulence across the key boundary layers during high speeds on the bike, reducing drag and improving race times. AeroForce Soft-Touch A French woven fabric which is used on the main front and back panels delivers an incredibly comfort feel. The material is also incredibly breathable with excellent sweat wicking for optimum temperature control. Offering full freedom of movement AeroForce has a 360-degree stretch. Sensory The high denier rating of the Sensory fabric, used throughout the suit, delivers balanced compression where you need it most. This helps to improve muscle support, increase blood flow away from the legs, enhance endurance and improve stamina. Key Features Iron Performance Pad Designed by Cytech, one of the World’s leading pad manufacturers in Italy, the Iron Performance pad offers high-quality support and comfort. The pad is perforated and laminated to deliver supreme breathability and quick drying capabilities. Additionally, the pad is formed with high-density foam that gives more padding and protection when cycling with central channelling in the perinea area designed to offset pressure points. The high level of elasticity in the pad also maximises freedom of movement when swimming and running. Heat Bonded Sleeves Optimising the fit of the suit, the head bonded sleeves reduce drag, completely streamlining the suit. Comfort Fit Design Built for long-distance the trisuit is designed to provide a long-lasting comfortable fit that maximises performance through the swim, bike and run. Flatlock Stitching Throughout the suit, flatlock seams are used to further streamline the suit and to minimise chafing and discomfort. Nutrition Storage At the rear of the suit is an easy-access storage pocket which is great for storing nutrition and essentials. For added security the pocket comes with a heat bonded cover. Zip Protection To prevent chaffing and irritation the front zip is protected with soft fabrics used to cover the inside of the zipper, combined with a ‘fold over’ cover for improved next-to-skin comfort. Leg Grippers Integrated leg grippers made with a premium Italian design that utilises natural gold fibres for improved comfort. The grippers help stabilise the position of the suit, keeping the legs in place especially during the bike and run stages.
When you’re ticking off the kilometres you don’t want to be distracted by your cycling shorts. And the Distance Bib Shorts+ 2.0 ensure you remain focused on enjoying your ride from start to finish. A dense-knit fabric provides luxurious comfort and support for hard-working muscles. GGOREWEAR’s engineered torso architecture also ensures the seat pad is always kept in the right location for all-day comfort. The wide mesh bib straps allow for excellent breathability and minimal pressure over the shoulders while at the waist, the soft waistband gives comfort and plenty of flexibility when breathing deeply. At the thighs, silicone hem grippers keep your shorts crisply in place too. Men’s Expert Distance 2.0 Seat Pad The Men’s Expert Distance 2.0 Seat Pad combines a multi-density, multi-layered construction, featuring a high-density perforated Hybrid Cell System insert. This results in a super-plush level of comfort for endurance-focused bike rides. Body-mapped engineering gives a precise fit and optimal flexibility. A male-specific central channel reduces both pressure and numbness in critical areas. Anatomically shaped wings and seamless construction seek to reduce chafing. A soft-feel cover enhances moisture control and optimises airflow, keeping you drier and fresher. In the front, a GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Cup provides wind protection in sensitive areas while staying breathable.

Federal Stance Pro Cassette Hub laced to the Federal Stance XL Rim. Federal's Stance Pro Cassette Hub has been designed to follow on from the Stance hub. Featuring an upgraded CNC machined 6061-T6 Aluminium Alloy shell with taller and narrower flanges for a more robust and stiffer wheel, upgraded oversized bearings, knurled collars and high density push-fit Nylon guards. The Federal Stance XL rim has a wider (40mm) cross section which is designed to be in keeping with modern tyre sizes which helps the tyre maintain its correct profile. The triple box section combined with the wider profile makes the rim both stronger and stiffer than conventional rims and also helps to reduce the possibility of pinch flats. The wall thickness where the spokes are located has been increased by 22% to reduce the possibility of spokes pulling through the rim. We have also changed the material from Aluminium 6061 to 6066 which increases the strength by approximately 30%. The rims have a lower sidewall height (15mm compared to 20mm on most other rims) to give the rim a lower/wider appearance .The internal sidewall height is also reduced to keep the tyre firmly in place when inflated and the base of the rim is sunken to ease the installation and removal of tyres. ###section### Product Specs WHEEL SIZE: 20" HUB: Federal Stance Pro Cassette Hub AXLE: 14mm DRIVE SIDE: Left Side Drive RIM: Federal Stance XL Rim SPOKES: TBC NIPPLES: TBC WEIGHT: TBC
The Substance 2 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 Bike The 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. See, in a world obsessed with pace, sometimes we need to focus on the place, the journey and the fun that comes from a bike with the capability to seek out adventures where others wouldn’t. Microshift 8-Speed Groupset and Tektro Disc Brakes Whether embarking on a far-flung bikepacking trip, gravel ride 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. All-Terrain Gravel Road Bike 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 or adventure 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.

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.

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.
