Vitus Energie Review
While the specs alone for this price range were pleasing enough, the comfort and handling of these bikes were really what won us over. The thru-axle and seatstays take on shock without much trouble, but if you head off road, you might be in for a bit of a jarring ride. You can get a great deal from these bikes, but go for the top of the line if you want to go for gold.
Vitus Energie VR Cyclocross Bike ApexThe Energie VR is a top-quality cyclocross race machine that’s also a superb bike for training and trail riding. It features a double-butted aluminium frame, carbon forks and a SRAM Apex 1×11-Speed groupset with hydraulic disc brakes, giving you performance to take you riding to the next level.Capable, Efficient and Agile Cyclocross BikeWith its double-butted 6061-T6 aluminium frame and full carbon fork, this extremely capable CX bike offers the perfect balance of control and comfort. Refined geometry including a longer top tube and shorter stem gives the perfect balance of fit and control, whatever the conditions. We’ve obsessed over the detail with the Energies’ race-ready frameset. From the much-increased mud and tyre clearance to the internal cable routing preventing mud and water ingress, to increase shouldering comfort, this bike has it all.SRAM Apex 11-Speed Groupset with Hydraulic Disc BrakesThe Energie VR features a race ready component package for 2021. SRAM’s proven 1X APEX drivetrain provides the basis for a superbly equipped bike. The 1 x11 speed gearing gives a big gear range whilst adding simplicity, reliability and low weight. Perfect for taming technical courses. SRAM’s APEX 1 rear derailleur features its proven clutch system, keeping the chain firmly in place, whatever the conditions.Tubeless Ready WheelsetThe versatility of this bike is enhanced thanks to its tubeless ready wheelset and its CX specific wheelbuild. This wheelset features WTB rims and Novatec hubs, fitted with 700c x 33 race ready tyres. Plus, Vitus’ own aluminium finishing kit complete this solid package.Features: Frame: Energie Aluminium 6061-t6 Double Butted Aluminium, Internal Cable Routing, Removeable Seat-stay Bridge, 1x & 2x Compatable, Integrated Mudguard Mounts, 12mm x 142mm Axle Fork: Energie Evo Carbon Sl Ud Carbon, Tpered Steerer, 100 x 12mm, Integrated Mudguard Mounts.
