Vitus Zenium Review

For the most part, we expected the Vitus Zenium bike to feel like it was priced – decent. We couldn’t have been more mistaken. The second our team of reviewers pushed off onto the road for the maiden ride, we had smiles on our faces.

From the chunky tubes to the fixed axle crank, power transmission was not an issue. The bike responded like a charm to every one of our movements, and seemed to surpass some pretty high-end setups as it did so.

The Zenium is made for speed, as we soon came to realise. The front end is lower than normal and is coupled with a long stem. This meant that we were blazing forward most of the time as opposed to just cruising past. The Shimano wheel hoops were silent, stiff and lightweight for even faster, better rides.

Since the tyres were Schwalbe Lugano, we expected them to hinder the motion of the bike a little, but they were as nimble as some far more expensive bikes! The frame and the carbon fork along with the great saddle all made for a sporty, comfortable ride. While potholes should be avoided, you won’t be shaken to death if you do go over one. Similarly, you needn’t worry about muddy slopes and sharp corners either. The clip-ons provided more than enough protection against spray as well.

The cassette and chain were a full 20 speed Shimano Tiagra set with an FSA Gosammer Compact cassette that is built for speed, not casual riding.

+Pros:

  • Sporty feel
  • Comfortable ride
  • Great build quality
  • Good power transmission
  • Lightweight, nimble feel

-Cons:

  • Frame weight is a little high
  • Built more for racing than casual use

The Verdict

A sporty, powerful bike perfect for any one of a range of uses including city cycling and longer trips in relative comfort.

We had a lot of fun reviewing the Vitus Zenium. It was a pleasure to ride, and the equipment in the bike made for an epic experience overall. This is definitely one you need to consider if you are a serious cyclist!

With a carbon frameset at its foundations, this rampant road racer is kitted out with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 electronic 2×11-Speed groupset to rocket you up to speed with its ultra-precise and reliable shifting performance. Plus, its top-level hydraulic disc brakes control your momentum when you need to scrub some speed and offers the utmost accuracy and dependable function in all weathers. Prime Baroudeur Tubeless Wheels and Vee Road Runner Tyres This efficient road racer travels aboard high-quality aluminium-built Prime Baroudeur wheels and Vee Road Runner 28c tyres for superb rolling finesse and immense traction. Paired with this Zenium’s generous tyre clearance and modern construction, this wheel/tyre duo is held in place by strong and reliable 12mm Thru-Axles for an excellent boost to traction, stability and control. Vitus Finishing Kit for Greater Comfort, Agility and Control Equipped with an elegant and functional finishing kit from Vitus that provides a comfortable sitting position while getting you easily into the attack position and keeps the weight down.
