About the Vitus brand

First emerging as a frame builder in 1970s France, Vitus Bikes played a pivotal role in pioneering the design and manufacture of lugged and bonded aluminium frames, the most iconic being the 979, groundbreaking at the time and still prized among collectors today. In 1982 we engineered and developed the 979 Carbone, one of the very first frames to take carbon fibre technology from the aerospace industry and apply it to bikes. Their tradition of innovation continued throughout subsequent decades with frames which included the 1991 ZXI monocoque carbon frame, the spirit of which lives on in their latest generation of monocoque road bikes. Without exception, each of the bikes – from their singlespeed commuter to the high-end carbon road model – won plaudits for their ride quality, build and great value. The reviews confirmed what they knew all along, and they intend to improve on these already test-winning models as Vitus push forward with the development of this great brand of bikes. “Credit has to be due to a brand that has come back from the ashes and rather than milk the prestige of the old days, has set its sights on the biggest players on the scene.” CYCLIST magazine. Vitus bikes have been tested in many of the top cycling titles and websites across all disciplines. Their bikes have won group tests across Europe and are regarded as some of the best on the market.

Getting the Right Fit

At Wiggle we measure each of our bikes to build accurate size charts for our customers. Our qualified team of mechanics then individually check each order, against measurements supplied by you, to ensure the size chosen is correct. Another reason you can have complete confidence when buying a bike from Wiggle!

If you are on the change over between sizes both options will fit. Racers and experienced riders would usually select a smaller size as this offers quicker handing. A larger bike offers more stability and is more suited to new and intermediate riders.

Vitus Rapide 29 VR Mountain Bike (2021) is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great, fast bike! OK, so this review is for the 2020 model, but hopefully it is still relevant. Purchased the 2020 model from Wiggle to replace my eight-year-old Trek Cobia which was stolen late in the lockdown. At that time the delivery period on any of the main brands was roughly 6 months, then I spotted the Vitus Rapide VR on Wiggle, in XL, and went for it. It was not possible to do a test ride, I had never heard of Vitus, so I just had to take the view Wiggle wouldn’t sell rubbish. I was dead right, the bike is great. Wiggle gave me a delivery date, it came three days early. The included some very basic pedals, which was a bonus (it was even hard to source pedals then), and also a multi tool. The bike is nearly one kilo lighter than my old bike and this is very apparent on the climbs. Having remote lockout on the fork is good, and it is ready for tubeless tyres. It even came with a small amount of touch up paint. The colour scheme has changed very slightly and the 2020 model had a SRAM groupset, whereas I see it is now Shimano, but mine works fine. Even the saddle is good and comfortable, not the cheap, hard, board you sometimes get. So I am very happy with my 2020 model, and have knocked several minutes off my main 2 hour routes. No doubt the 2021 model is just as good. Wiggle’s service has also been first rate.
