Vitus Energie EVO CR CX Bike (Rival eTap AXS)

Vitus Energie EVO CR CX Bike (Rival eTap AXS)

The Energie EVO CR CX is a top-level cyclocross race bike from Vitus. It features a quality uni-directional carbon frameset that's equipped with a SRAM Rival eTap AXS 12-Speed groupset. This wireless groupset shifts up and down its gear range smoothly and quickly while also requiring no cable maintenance throughout use. Plus, it's equipped with SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes, Tubeless Ready Prime Baroudeur wheels wrapped in Maxxis All Terrane tyres and a Prime Primavera Aero/Doyenne handlebar and stem combo.

Powerful, Elegant and Versatile Cyclocross Race Bike

The Energie EVO CR CX Bike has the clean lines and sleek aesthetic of a modern carbon race bike. But its best side is not the one leaning pristine against an immaculate garage wall or sparkling for Instagram. It’s the one ready to race laps of a grassy park in the rain, slide into muddy corners, power through sand and compete in the worst winter weather. This bike is for the passionate. This is for those who come alive on cold Sunday mornings, who delight in the rush of exciting racing. This is for those looking for the difference without compromising the basic joy of riding. Importantly, this is UCI-approved and podium-ready. A game-changer.

SRAM Rival eTap Wireless 12-Speed Groupset and Prime Baroudeur Wheels

Whether racing for the podium or just for fun, the frame is loaded with thoughtfully engineered features that are uniquely designed and refined for the demands of cyclocross. A flatter top tube sits comfortably into the shoulder and single-entry cable routing reduces penetration of dirt so that performance is not reduced by wet conditions or a jet wash. A revised carbon lay-up improves the stiffness for power out of the turns, where it really matters mid-race, while also reducing weight for when you need to carry or charge into a climb.

The top tube is slightly longer and the stem a touch shorter than before, keeping weight distribution slightly back from the front end, so the handling feels snappy and responsive - this is immediate control, whatever the conditions. Frame clearance around the Prime Baroudeur Disc wheels is superb, so your speed won’t be slowed, nor the bike weighed down by mud. It also makes the bike easy to clean for your pit crew, and when the racing is done you can spray it down quickly and put it straight into the car.

Ideal for Racing, Training and Commuting

A Vitus is always best being ridden, not hanging on a wall, waiting or posing. So when you’re not lining up for cyclocross, thanks to an innovative removable seat stay bridge, you can add mudguards and carry on with your winter training and year-round commuting. However hard the ride, with the Vitus Energie EVO CR CX Bike (Rival eTap AXS) the fun is always turned right up.

One-piece Monocoque Frame

Expertly crafted with no joins, the uniquely layered continuous UD carbon frame is strong and light. And those modern, clean lines look awesome too!

Performance Design (previously Race-Fit Geometry)

The geometry of top-tier Vitus frames has been carefully calculated to ensure that comfort, aerodynamics and power are balanced, so the ride feel is enhanced for the best performance, and enjoyment, in all conditions.

Class-leading Mud Clearance

Mud is slow. To combat that we’ve made the clearance between tyre and frame as wide as possible (within UCI-regulations, of course) so the bike won’t get weighed down and your drivetrain won’t clog in those wet and sticky races.

Mudguard Mounts

The addition of an innovative removable mudguard mount between the seatstays gives you the option to keep using this bike beyond cyclocross racing, be that commuting, winter training or exploring remote lanes.

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.
