Origin

The Zenium is Vitus's core carbon road bike, aimed at riders who want a disc-equipped carbon platform without spending Ultegra Di2 money. By using T700 UD carbon and selling direct through Chain Reaction Cycles, Vitus kept the price honest while delivering modern geometry, disc brakes, and thru-axles.

The verdict

+Strengths

T700 carbon delivers genuine road stiffness and light weight at accessible pricing
Disc brakes with thru-axles offer consistent all-weather stopping and modern handling
Up to 32mm clearance adds versatility for wet roads and light gravel

−Weaknesses

PF30 BB can creak over time without proper installation and greasing
Prime Baroudeur wheels are competent but many riders upgrade early
Shimano 105 builds are solid; Tiagra entry builds feel underpowered for the carbon chassis
