Description
For riders who want the speed of a road racer but prefer the comfort, control and upright position of a flat-barred bike we’ve created the Vitus Mach 3.
Ideally suited as a fast city commuter or a fitness and training bike, the Mach 3 will also turn its hand to day touring and distance riding, with the emphasis on mile-munching pace without the back-aching pain.
Brought to you exclusively by Chainreactioncycles.com, the world’s largest online bike store, the Vitus Mach 3 blends all-day comfort with race-pace speed and impeccable handling.
Lightweight alloy frame and carbon fork
The Mach 3 shares the same triple-butted 6061 aluminium frame as its road racing siblings in the Zenium range, complemented by a UD carbon fork with tapered alloy steerer to shed weight and reduce road buzz.
Shimano Sora/FSA transmission
Shimano Sora trigger shifters and Sora derailleurs provide smooth and precise gear selections throughout the range. The FSA Omega 50t x 34t compact chainset and Shimano Tiagra 12t-25t cassette offers a gear ratio that will get you through weekend group rides and over any hill on your daily commute to the office.
Finishing kit and wheelset
FSA finishing kit provides a comfortable base for longer days in the saddle with reliable, robust aluminium components. Shimano WH-R501 wheels are stable performers whilst the Schwalbe Lugano tyres offer low rolling resistance and surefooted grip even in the wet increasing confidence and enhancing your riding experience.
Mach 3. Get the speed, keep the comfort.
