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!

Strong and Lightweight Carbon Frameset The Zenium is designed to offer the perfect blend of comfort and performance for a great all-round riding experience. The compact geometry and slender dropped seatstays increase comfort and give a balanced ride. The UD carbon fork features a tapered steerer for steering precision and inspiring handling, balancing confidence and control. Plus, it features up to 32mm tyre clearance to give you more choice in terms of tyre options. The frame is a fine balance of classic tube shapes and modern features, put together in a package that keeps weight to a minimum. Make no mistake, the Zenium wants to go fast. However, the subtle nods to all-day comfort ensure that if you’re looking for a carbon road all-rounder, then the Zenium is for you. Shimano Tiagra 10-Speed Drivetrain and TRP Spyre Disc Brakes This model of the Vitus Zenium uses the reliable Shimano Tiagra R4700 10 speed groupset, paired with TRP’s Spyre disc brakes and 160mm rotors. Vitus Custom Wheels and Vee Road Runner Tyres This fast road bike rolls on our Vitus clinchers and lightweight hubs, which are paired with the super cool Vee Road Runner tan sidewall 28mm tyres. The 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 is built with Vitus’ own 6061 Aluminium aero bar and stem, combined with a Vitus 27.2mm aluminium layback seatpost and our own tried and tested Vitus road saddle. Built, Tuned and Ready to Ride Rest assured that each bike is fully built and tuned by Wiggle’s team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure your bike arrives in perfect condition. We supply all bikes with a set of plastic pedals, a pedal wrench and a multi-tool kit. Find out which size fits you by clicking the size chart tab.
