Product Information

Full details

The Vitus Vitesse EVO with SRAM RED AXS is designed for competitive cyclists seeking an all-round performance road bike that excels in varied conditions, from steep climbs to fast descents and flat terrains. Its key benefit is its lightweight, aerodynamic carbon construction paired with a top-tier wireless electronic groupset, enabling effortless gear changes and potent braking. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific Race-Fit geometry, which is optimized for aggressive riding positions and may require adjustment for those preferring a more relaxed stance. Key features include an SL UD Carbon aero frame, wireless SRAM RED AXS HRD components, and high-performance carbon wheels.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the intended use for the Vitus Vitesse EVO?

The Vitus Vitesse EVO is designed as a high-performance all-round racing road bike, suitable for competitive road racing, time trials, challenging climbs, descents, and fast flat sections.

What type of bottom bracket does this bike use?

The bike features a SRAM DUB BB386 bottom bracket.

What is the maximum tire clearance?

The bike is specified with 700x25c tires but generally accommodates up to 700x28c tires.

How do I charge the SRAM RED AXS batteries?

The batteries are located in the rear derailleur and front derailleur/shifters. They can be removed and charged using the specific SRAM charger provided with the groupset.

What are the benefits of tubeless-ready tires?

Tubeless-ready tires allow you to run lower pressures for increased comfort and grip, reduce the risk of pinch flats, and can be more resistant to punctures when used with sealant.

Does the bike come with pedals?

Typically, performance road bikes like this do not include pedals. You will need to purchase compatible pedals separately.

What is Race-Fit geometry?

Race-Fit geometry is designed to put the rider in a more aerodynamic and aggressive riding position, which is beneficial for speed and power output, often favored by competitive cyclists.

Troubleshooting

SRAM AXS shifter not responding

Ensure the shifter battery is charged. Check that the shifter is properly paired with the derailleur via the AXS app or by holding the AXS button on the derailleur and shifter simultaneously. Reset the system by removing and reinserting the derailleur battery.

Brakes feel spongy or weak

The hydraulic brake system may need bleeding. Check for leaks around the calipers and hoses. Ensure the brake pads are not contaminated and are properly seated. Consult a professional mechanic if unsure.

Chain skipping or poor shifting performance

Check the derailleur hanger for alignment. Ensure the derailleur is correctly adjusted and limit screws are set properly. Clean and lubricate the chain and cassette. Verify the AXS system is updated via the app.

Wheels rub against frame or brakes

Ensure the wheels are correctly seated in the dropouts and thru-axles are tightened properly. Check that the frame and fork are not damaged. Inspect the brake calipers for alignment issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Vitus Vitesse EVO typically comes partially assembled. Professional assembly is highly recommended to ensure all components are torqued correctly and adjusted for optimal performance and safety. This includes the installation of handlebars, seatpost, pedals (not included), and final tuning of the drivetrain and brakes. Ensure the SRAM RED AXS components are properly paired and the internal batteries are fully charged before the first ride.

Compatibility: This bike features a SRAM DUB BB386 bottom bracket, compatible with SRAM DUB cranksets. It uses standard 12mm thru-axles for both front and rear wheels. The frame is designed for 700c wheels and accommodates tires up to 700x28c (though 700x25c is spec'd). The SRAM RED AXS system is proprietary; ensure any replacement parts are compatible.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the frame and components with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid high-pressure washers, especially around bearings.
  • Drivetrain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Periodically check the cassette and chainrings for wear.
  • Brakes: Inspect brake pads for wear and clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol if contaminated.
  • Tires: Check tire pressure before each ride and inspect for cuts or wear.
  • Battery: Keep the SRAM AXS batteries charged. Store the bike in a dry place, protected from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use.
