Vitus has launched the versatile new Venon EVO RS & GR bikes, and we've got our hands on them! Here's our first look and first ride impressions... cycling
On top of that, you have increased tyre clearances over what’s available on those road bikes, and geometry that is more relaxed to allow it to work on differing terrain. It leaves the Venon EVO sitting somewhere in between the ZX-1, Vitesse and Vitus’The Venon EVO is similar to an endurance road bike in terms of tube lengths and angles, especially at the front end, while the wheelbase is slightly extended to aid stability on loose surfaces and the bottom bracket drop is more gravel than road.
All of this adds up to a bike that is designed for fast, hard rides on gravel or tarmac. It’s not intended to be a road race bike or an adventure gravel machine, but it covers everything in between. In terms of versatility, the biggest difference between a road and a gravel bike is tyre clearance and that has been addressed by Vitus. While many all-road machines are offering maximum tyre clearances of less than 40mm, the Venon pushes that out to an impressive 45mm while leaving 6mm of room between the tyre and the chainstays.
The Venon will also take full mudguards thanks to mounting points on the frame and fork, plus there is a neat removable bridge that spans the seatstays.
