VITUS ZX1 CRS DI2 BIKE

The Vitus ZX-1. Aero inspired, for maximum speed and efficiency.

Innovation is part of who we are, and the original ZX-1 was one of the first monocoque carbon fibre race bikes back when it launched in 1991. It took the scene by storm with advanced manufacturing methods that allowed designers to push the aerodynamic boundaries, creating a truly unique bike.

Today, the ZX-1 continues to be a performance race ready road bike. Utilising Kamm Tail tube profiles, and an integrated fork and seat post, the Vitus designers have enhanced aerodynamics without compromise. An asymmetric and oversized BB386EVO BB helps to maximise drive and overall lateral stiffness. With the use of multiple carbon fibre layups, Vitus have maintained a balanced power transfer on the drive and non-drive sides of the bike whilst under pedalling load.

The UCI approved frameset has been raced by UCI Continental Pro cycling team Vitus Pro Cycling p/b Brother UK, featuring heavily in breakaways at the 2019 Tour de Yorkshire, and stage wins in the UK’s Tour Series criterium series.

The ZX-1 CRi Disc features the high-performance Shimano Ultegra R8050 11 speed electronic groupset and Ultegra hydraulic flat mount disc brakes. To maximise aerodynamics the Di2 junction box is hidden in the handlebar bar-end, for easy on the fly adjustments, and a clean look. For performance and reliability, the Ultegra Di2 groupset is hard to beat.

Race proven, and UCI Approved, Prime Carbon Black Edition 50 tubeless ready wheels feature a 50mm deep aero rim section. This is combined with a wider rim profile to create a more linear contour between the tyre and rim interface. Pairing these with Schwalbe One Performance RaceGuard Tubeless 25c tyres maximises aero gains and comfort.

The cockpit utilises Prime’s new Primavera aluminium aero handlebars, inspired by the extremely popular carbon version raced by Vitus Pro Cycling. The bars feature the same aggressive aerodynamic shape with a large flat ‘wing’ aero top section, and internal cable routing. The performance orientated 3D forged, and CNC machined, Prime Doyenne aero stem, adds sleek design and features an integrated aero top cap.
