Vitus Energie Cyclocross Bike (Apex 1x11) 2019

Vitus Energie Cyclocross Bike (Apex 1x11)

As versatile as they come, The Energie Cyclocross Bike is ready to be your first race-ready cyclocross bike, a hardcore winter training bike, or a comfortable all-season commuter. It really is a machine for all occasions.

Tough and Light CycloCross Frame

This multi-purpose ride is built around a tough triple-butted 6061-T6 alloy frame and a full carbon fork with a tapered carbon steerer. It also boats 12mm thru-axles front and rear for improved tracking and power transfer, which ensure it’s a very reliable operator. Its 27.2mm seatpost improves comfort, whilst a longer top tube and shorter stem combine to improve the handling. This is something you'll be grateful of when navigating built-up areas on your commute on taking on tight and technical courses.

Reliable Components

The drivetrain is built around SRAM's Apex 1 1x11 Hydro groupset. With its wide-ratio cassette at the rear and single ring X-SYNC 40T chainring up front, the gear combinations will let you dominate on the loosest and muddiest 'cross courses. Plus, there’s Apex hydraulic disc brakes, a tubeless-ready WTB Frequency CX Team/Novatec wheelset and Vitus' own finishing kit to complete the package. Bottle cage mounts have been added along with mudguard mounts to expand the potential for all year multi-purpose use.

Comfortable and Practical

With its cyclocross specific frameset with extra clearance for large volume cyclocross tyres and mud build up on sloppy courses, this bike is ready to go anywhere. Its cable routing is also specifically designed to prevent ingress of mud and water and to increase comfort when shouldering the bike during cyclocross race situations. The high-modulus T700 HM-UD full carbon fork features a tapered carbon steerer and beefed-up blades with 12mm through axle configuration to ensure precise tracking and steering with the ability to handle the rigours of competitive cyclocross racing.

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 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 kids’ 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 kids’ 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.
