Vitus Venon EVO-GR Rival Road Bike

A chameleon at home on gravel or tarmac, the Venon EVO is an all-road platform made in two flavours: the EVO-GR and EVO-RS. This specific bike, the Venon EVO-GR, is specced with gravel-specific components hung from a frame that smartly balances comfort and speed. Its sibling, the Venon EVO-RS, comes with components more typical of a road bike. The frame is the same, but we give you the choice to pick your poison — are you more the type hungry for washboard and dust, or do you prefer big days pounding pavement? Or, with a second set of wheels, you can have the best of both worlds. The choice is yours. As a member of our EVO family of bikes, the Venon EVO-GR is a high-performance carbon gravel bike that places a premium on speed and efficiency. Here, aerodynamics matters — at the front of the bike you'll find tube shapes and integrated cable routing borrowed from our ZX-1 EVO aero road bike. At the rear of the bike, you'll find inspiration from our Vitesse EVO all-rounder, with dropped seat stays and a forgiving carbon layup for additional give when the road surface is less than ideal.

This Vitus Venon EVO-GR Rival is built up with SRAM's 1x Rival 12-speed mechanical drivetrain. It uses an internally routed cockpit, custom headset and integrated fork for maximum efficiency and comes stock with Micheline Power Gravel 700x40c tyres that roll fast and stick to lose terrain. The Venon EVO frame can accommodate up to 45mm tyres, but we've paid special attention to its rear end to ensure the bike's snappy race bike feel wasn't sacrificed in the name of clearance.
