Vitus Energie Cyclocross Bike (Apex) 2020

Vitus Energie Cyclocross Bike (Apex) A highly versatile machine for commuting, training, and racing; the Energie Alloy Cyclocross Bike boasts a durable and light alloy frame, SRAM Apex components, and a WTB ST i21/Novatec, disc wheelset.Tough and Light Alloy Cyclocross FrameWith its triple-butted 6061-T6 alloy frame and full carbon fork, this extremely capable bike offers the perfect balance of control and comfort. There's also a 27.2mm seatpost to improve the comfort even further, whilst the dialled-in geometry of a longer top tube and shorter stem work together to improve handling. You'll truly appreciate this on tight and technical courses or when navigating built-up areas on your commute.SRAM Apex ComponentsEquipped with a race-ready single ring chainset with an X-SYNC 40T chainring and a drivetrain that's organised around SRAM's Apex 1 Hydro groupset, the Energie CX bike is designed to thrive on the loosest, muddy 'cross courses. The Apex hydraulic disc brakes, tubeless-ready WTB ST i21 CX /Novatec wheelset and Vitus' own finishing kit complete this solid package. There are even bottle cage and mudguard mounts to expand the potential for all year multi-purpose use. Wide Tyre ClearanceVitus has obsessed over every single detail with the Energie's cyclocross race-ready frameset. From the much-increased mud and tyre clearance to the internal cable routing to prevent mud and water ingress and increase shouldering comfort, this bike has it all. Boosting the performance further still, the beefed-up blades on the high-modulus T700 HM-UD full carbon forks ensure precise tracking and steering to help you to handle the rigours of competitive cyclocross racing.
