Vitus Energie EVO Apex Cyclocross Bike

At its core, the Vitus Energie EVO Apex 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 for the real world - to race laps of a grassy park in the rain, slide into muddy corners, power through sand and compete in the worst winter weather.

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 wheels is vast, 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.
