Whether you’re looking for adventure, expanding your riding possibilities, or just want to take the most direct route to work, the Vitus Substance has you covered. The Substance is the bike that will go anywhere you point it, on whatever road surface you choose.
A capable steel frame designed to take both 700c and 650b wheels & tyres, the possibilities are endless. The Substance offers you a new way to ride.
Featuring dependable 4130 Steel tubing, tapered headtube, and full carbon forks, the Substance is born tough. With mounts for luggage, mud guards and multiple bottles it’s also capable of the biggest bike packing or touring adventures.
The Substance is fitted with 700c WTB i23 Wheels and WTB Riddler high volume tyres, the large outer diameter keeps your wheels rolling over bumps, whilst the added air volume allows you to adjust pressures depending on the terrain for grip, comfort and luggage weight. The Wheels are tubeless ready, so just install the supplied valves and add sealant if you want to run tubeless.
The Substance is finished off with the reliable Shimano Sora R3000 groupset, TRP disc brakes and Vitus finishing kit including our adventure specific flared drop bars, giving you a wider grip position for stability when tackling off road terrain, and a comfortable road riding position you can maintain for long rides.
