Vitus Pro Cycling raced their inaugural season in 2018 under new headline sponsor Vitus last year following the end of Raleigh's eight-year sponsorship of the team. The brand, which is owned by online retailer Wiggle/Chain Reaction Cycles, continues the sponsorship for the 2019 season.
The 12-rider team will race next season exclusively on Vitus ZX1 Team Aero Disc framesets. The carbon aero framesets are disc brake only, with the team also opting to run tubeless Schwalbe tyres as opposed to the more traditional tubular options.
The bikes use SRAM Red eTap HRD wireless electronic groupsets and Prime, another brand from Wiggle/Chain Reaction Cycles, provides the wheels, carbon aero handlebars and alloy stem.

Jodie Shann, Vitus' road product manager said in a press release: "We are fully behind the performance benefits disc brakes bring to road cycling, so much so that when we introduced our flagship ZX1 race bike in 2018 we released this as a disc-only platform.
"Our experience from countless hours of rider testing and feedback is that discs give the rider far greater braking control in all conditions, giving riders more time to focus on road position rather than worrying about braking performance."
