About Vitus
The original Vitus pioneered aluminium frames in the 1970s. Sean Kelly won classics on them. Pedro Delgado rode them to Grand Tour glory. Then the brand faded, as many do, until Wiggle Chain Reaction Cycles revived the name with a new proposition: deliver more bike for less money than anyone else.
The modern Vitus obsesses over specifications. Compare any Vitus to competitors at similar prices and the component list usually wins. Shimano groupsets one tier higher than expected. Wheels that would cost extra elsewhere. Finishing kit that suits actual riding rather than marketing photographs. This isn't heritage trading on past glories but genuine value engineering.
For British cyclists watching budgets without wanting to compromise on quality, Vitus makes sense. The Substance gravel bike handles everything from commuting to dirty weekends. The Mythique trail bike suits UK trail centres perfectly. The road range covers everything from Sunday club runs to serious sportives. Direct sales through Chain Reaction Cycles eliminate retail margins. You get more bike for your money and a historic name on the downtube as a bonus.
Vitus bikes currently start from £0 across the marketplace.
What to look for when buying a used Vitus
Vitus bikes are best for cyclists who want the best possible components at each price point.
When buying any used Vitus, start with the basics. Check the frame for cracks, dents, or damage, especially around the head tube, bottom bracket, and dropout areas. Look at the drivetrain for wear and make sure the gears shift cleanly through the full range.
Ask the seller for service history and proof of ownership. Every Vitus listed on Cyclesite is automatically checked against UK stolen-bike databases, but it is always worth checking the frame number yourself too.
Typical Vitus pricing on the used market sits in the £500 to £4,000+ bracket. Anything notably outside that range is worth a closer look.
