Vitus Zenium CRS Road Bike (Ultegra - 2021)

Ideal for group rides, crit races and day-long endurance rides, the Vitus Zenium CRS Road Bike is agile, comfortable and efficient. Its lightweight carbon frameset is paired with Shimano Ultegra gears and hydraulic disc brakes.

Comfortable, Fast and Efficient Road Bike Performance

The Zenium is designed to offer the perfect blend of comfort and performance for a great all-round riding experience. The compact geometry and slender dropped seatstays increase comfort and give a balanced ride. The UD carbon fork features a tapered steerer for steering precision and inspiring handling, balancing confidence and control. We’ve built in up to 32mm tyre clearance to give you more choice. The frame is a fine balance of classic tube shapes and modern features, put together in a package that keeps weight to a minimum. Make no mistake, the Zenium wants to go fast. However, the subtle nods to all-day comfort ensure that if you are looking for a carbon road all-rounder, then the Zenium is for you.

Shimano Ultegra 11-Speed Groupset with Hydraulic Disc Brakes

The Zenium CRS is finished with the high-performance Shimano Ultegra R8000 11 speed mechanical groupset and Ultegra hydraulic flat mount disc brakes. There’s no question why this is Shimano’s best-selling performance groupset. A perfect blend of performance and great looks. 

Prime Tubeless Ready Wheels and Vee Road Runner Tyres

This model features the updated Prime Baroudeur Disc Tubeless Ready clincher wheels, with slick graphics and a very competitive weight. These are paired with the super cool Vee Road Runner tan sidewall 28mm tyres. The updated Vitus Switch axles give you the option to leave the lever handle firmly secured in either wheel or remove it for the extra weight saving and aero gains. The cockpit is built with Vitus’ own 6061 Aluminium aero bar and stem, combined with a Vitus 27.2mm US Carbon layback seatpost and our own tried and tested Vitus road saddle. 

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.
