Vitus ZX-1 EVO CR ETap AXS Road Bike (Rival)

Vitus ZX-1 EVO CR eTap AXS Road Bike (Rival)

The ZX-1 EVO CR eTap Rival is a top-tier road race bike from Vitus. Engineered with an ultra-strong, stiff and lightweight carbon fibre frameset, and it is equipped with a SRAM Rival eTap AXS wireless electronic 12-Speed groupset. This gearset shifts through its range quickly and smoothly while its hydraulic disc brakes offer exceptional all-weather stopping power. It also rolls upon Tubeless Ready Prime Attaquer aluminium wheels wrapped in Tubeless Michelin Power tyres. And it’s kitted out with a carbon Prime Primavera Aero handlebar and ZX-1 EVO Aero seatpost.

Lightweight, Strong and Stiff Road Race Bike

The latest Vitus ZX-1 has been remastered, reimagined and reengineered. Enter, the EVO. Lighter, stiffer and faster. Stripped right back to the drawing board for a ground-up overhaul.

Agile, Aerodynamic and Efficient

Vitus has done the testing and know that the ZX-1 EVO exhibits up to 45% less drag than the previous model. But that means nothing until you unleash it outside and feel it for yourself. In the world of aero bikes, amongst all the jargon and data, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. That to feel fast is to be fast, and you can’t feel fast in a wind tunnel. The pleasure of speed only exists in the real world. Out there on the road. The sensation of putting power through your pedals and feeling the bike surge underneath you. And the faster you go, the easier it becomes. That’s where the ZX-1 EVO excels. That’s the bike working with you as the road snakes and the wind changes. That’s aero.

Uni Directional Carbon Fibre Frame

The ZX-1 EVO doesn’t neglect everything for the sake of speed, since an uncomfortable rider cannot be fast and efficient. At least, not for long. Thanks to the one-piece carbon monocoque frame there are no points of weakness, no joints, so it is specifically engineered to be stiff where required and deliver comfort elsewhere, reducing harshness from the road for a more soothing ride feel. Reassuringly, there are no compromises on performance with the build. You’re getting SRAM’s latest wireless Rival eTap groupset, Prime carbon wheels and integrated carbon stem and handlebar to keep the front end sleek so nothing is left out in the wind. The result? A bike with a stunningly clean aesthetic that carves through the air with outstanding efficiency.

The performance geometry slots the rider into a naturally aerodynamic position, so whether racing flat-out, sprinting for road signs or charging on the front of the peloton, the EVO gathers momentum quickly and holds speed with ease. Vitus has made this bike fast. They know it rides fast. The rest is up to you.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.
