Vitus Bikes Venon VR Review

Legendary bike manufacturer Vitus have been known to create some of the most pioneering bikes for every level of cyclist, yet what every rider agrees upon is that Vitus create truly remarkable racing bikes for the more passionate cyclists who want to win races.

Part of Vitus’ VR (Vitus Race) series the Vitus Venon VR has been constructed and built to help cyclists win those all important road races. Although many bike producers have begun to experiment with carbon frames, Vitus have a reputation for crafting carbon bikes that are different and unique in every way and the Venon VR carbon frame is no different. With a custom-moulded super high-modulus carbon fibre frame with a 3K weave finish, the Venon VR possesses one of the lightest, strongest and stiffest bike frames. This perfect combination of lightness and rigidity in the Venon VR frame has created a serious racing frame for the more serious riders. While its integrated full carbon monocoque fork with carbon steerer promises that riders enjoy effortless and responsive handling even on tight corners at high speeds.

The Controltech finishing kit in the stem and bar guarantees that the Venon VR has an ergonomic design that is comfortable. Vitus have considered and planned every part of the Venon VR in order to make certain it is the ultimate racing bike, this dedication and research can be clearly seen in the Shimano WH-RS30 wheels with Schwable Blizzard Kevlarguard tyres. This combination means that riders can enjoy rigid and durable wheels that possess perfect aerodynamic measurements, as well as tyres that offer enough grip to stay firmly on the road in all weather conditions.

The Shimano 105 groupset, including shifters, derailleurs and cassette promise a crisp, precise and smooth shifting performance, while the Shimano 105 crankset offers riders the optimum climbing range and sharp acceleration.

Many of our testers were impressed with the Venon VR and felt comfortable that the bikes careful design and high quality components could help them to win races. Vitus have invested a lot of research and time into this bike and it can be easily seen from the first glance and felt from the first pedal, the Venon VR is a remarkable bike that is built to win races.
