Featuring a T6-6061 double-butted aluminum frame and carbon fork designed to take both 700c and 650b wheels & tires, the possibilities are endless. This Substance Aluminum bike takes inspiration from Vitus' carbon and steel siblings, delivered in a more affordable package, but equally as capable.
Featuring a tapered headtube, and full T-700 UD carbon forks, the Substance steel is born tough. This bike is made for round-the-world adventure or dependable and comfortable commuting. With the addition of mounts for fenders, luggage, and multiple bottles it’s also capable of going anywhere for any amount of time. The Substance VRS-1 is fitted with SRAM’s Apex 1 hydraulic groupset, giving you a gear range that can cope with any terrain. X-Sync technology from the chainset and a Roller Bearing Clutch on the rear mech means your chain will always stay firmly planted, whatever the adventure.
The Substance VRS-1 is fitted with WTB ST Light i23 TCS rims, laced to Alex Bear Pawl hubs, and fitted with big volume WTB Venture TCS 47mm tires. 650b is perfect for adventure cycling with the large outer diameter keeping your wheels rolling over bumps, whilst the added tire volume allows you to adjust pressures depending on the terrain for grip, comfort, and luggage weight. The finishing kit is made up of a Vitus 6061 aluminum handlebar, stem, and seat post. The handlebars feature a flat top section for added comfort on and off-road, with the Substance VRS-1 featuring a 3-degree bar flare.
Please Note: This bike has a max tire clearance of 650b x 47c Or 700 x 42c
