A chameleon at home on gravel or tarmac, the Venon is an all road platform made in two flavors: the EVO RS and EVO GR. This specific bike, the Venon EVO RS, is specced with road specific components hung from a frame that smartly balances comfort and speed. Its sibling, the Venon EVO GR, comes with components more typical of a gravel 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-RS is a high performance carbon all road bike that places a premium on speed and efficiency. Here, aerodynamics matter 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 seatstays and a forgiving carbon layup for additional give when the road surface is less than ideal.

This Vitus Venon EVO RS Ultegra Di2 is built up with Shimano's 2x12 speed Ultegra Di2 electronic drivetrain. It uses an internally routed cockpit, custom headset and integrated fork for maximum efficiency and comes stock with Maxxis High Road 700x28c tyres that roll fast and are a little wider for comfort and grip. 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 like feel wasn't sacrificed in the name of clearance. In this particular build, the rear tyre clearance is limited to maximum 40mm due to the position of the front derailleur.

In recent years we’ve seen the lines between gravel bikes and road bikes begin to blur. Riders are demanding more — more speed, more clearance, more versatility, and less fluff. The Venon EVO-RS is our answer to those demands.
