2017 Vitus Venon VR first ride review

http://ift.tt/2j0tNt7

Vitus recently invited us to Calpe, in the South of Spain, to attend the launch of this year's An Post CRC youth development squad and to try out some of the new bikes in its 2017 line up. We sent staff writer, Jack Luke, out on the updated Venon VR Ultegra disc along the (usually) sun-kissed coast, that many teams call home during the winter training camp season, to see how the bike stacked up.

The Vitus Venon VR disc carries over the same frameset as the 2016 version with spec updates and a facelift throughout the whole range.

To start, gone are the mechanical TRP Spyre brakes of the previous generation of the Venon and every model is now outfitted with a full hydro brake set up.
