Description
The Vitesse EVO TEAM eTap AXS is the lightest bike in the Vitus range – a true pro race bike. Designed with minimal weight to charge up climbs, efficient stiffness to sprint and accelerate, and all-day comfort to glide through rough road surfaces with minimal fatigue, this bike will leave you fresh to challenge for the finish line.
We worked collaboratively with the professional UCI Continental Pro cycling team, An-Post CRC throughout the design and test phase of the Vitesse EVO, with a comprehensive testing and feedback programme. This allowed our designers to optimise the Vitesse EVO, achieving the perfect balance of ride characteristics to make this bike competitive in all conditions- from the spring classics to the high mountains of Europe. The Vitesse EVO is a proven, professional race-winning platform, and is the bike of choice for professional team, Vitus Pro cycling in 2020.
The Vitesse EVO is now a disc brake only frameset, with full internal cable routing, and a UCI certified frame and fork. With semi-compact geometry and lots of flexibility in its set-up, you’re guaranteed to get the position you want. The Vitesse EVO is renowned for its composed handling being both balanced and stable, yet nimble enough to pilot through a bunch sprint.
The Vitesse Evo TEAM eTap Disc is directly inspired by the race-winning bikes of Vitus Pro Cycling. Featuring the same envy-inducing, metallic red paint job, this bike really stands out in a crowd. This race bike is fitted with SRAM’s newly launched Force eTap AXS HRD 12 speed groupset. This features some industry-leading technology, including modern gearing, advanced chain management, and easy personalisation.
The CRS TEAM eTap model gives you both wireless electronic shifting and hydraulic disc braking: the best of both worlds. The SRAM Force eTap AXS rear derailleur capitalizes on X-Range gearing technology for enhanced range and chain management. Carbon cranks and SRAM’s new Flattop chain make this one of the most exciting bikes in the 2020 Vitus collection.
The race-proven and UCI approved Prime Carbon Black Edition 38 tubeless-ready wheels feature a 38mm deep aero rim section, providing the perfect balance between low weight and aerodynamics. The Black Edition 38 combines this with a wider rim profile to create a more linear contour between the tyre and rim interface. They are paired with Hutchinson Fusion Five Performance Tubeless 25c tyres, maximising aero gains and comfort. The new Vitus Switch axles give you the option to leave the lever handle firmly secured in either wheel or remove it for extra weight saving and aero gains.
The cockpit utilises Prime’s popular Doyenne aluminium semi-aero handlebars as used by Vitus Pro Cycling. These bars feature a lightweight hydroformed shape, internal cable routing and come fitted to the performance-orientated, sleek-looking Zipp Service Course stem- 3D forged, and CNC machined for maximum stiffness and low weight.
Finishing the bike off is a matching Zipp Service Course layback seat post, fitted with a versatile and comfortable Prologo Kappa EVO PAS saddle.
