The Vitesse EVO CRS 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 Pro-Continental cycling team, An-Post CRC throughout the design and test phase of the Vitesse EV, 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 CRS Disc features the high-performance Shimano Ultegra R8000 11 speed mechanical groupset and Ultegra hydraulic flat mount disc brakes. There’s no question why this is Shimano’s best-selling performance groupset- a perfect blend of performance and great looks.
The CRS comes with the all-new Prime Attaquer Disc Tubeless Ready clincher wheels as standard, featuring slick graphics, and a very competitive weight. They are paired with the fast and reliable Schwalbe Pro One Microskin Tubeless 25c tyres. The new Vitus Switch axles give you the option to leave the lever handle firmly secured in one of the wheels, or remove it for extra weight saving and aero gains.
The cockpit features a full kit from industry leaders in innovation and technology, Zipp. The Service Course Ergo 70 bars feature a lightweight, hydroformed shape and come fitted to the performance orientated and 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 super comfortable Prologo Kappa EVO PAS saddle.
