Vitus ZX-1 EVO CRX eTap AXS Road Bike (Red)

Vitus ZX-1 EVO CRX eTap AXS Road Bike (Red)

The ZX-1 EVO CRX eTap AXS Red features a full-carbon frameset and a top-tier SRAM Red eTap AXS Wireless electronic groupset. This road bike is strong, stiff, lightweight and efficient, and it sits at the pinnacle of competitive road racing performance. The SRAM Red drivetrain shifts gears with exceptional efficiency and crispness while its powerful hydraulic disc brakes ensure outstanding all-weather braking reliability. This ZX-1 EVO rolls upon carbon Reynolds AR58/AR62 race wheels that feature deep-section Tubeless Ready rims wrapped in Tubeless Ready Michelin Power Road TLR tyres.

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 Carbon Aero Frameset

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.

SRAM Red eTap AXS Wireless Electronic 12-Speed Groupset

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 top drawer wireless SRAM eTap groupset, deep-section aero Reynolds carbon wheels and fully internal cable routing 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.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
