✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . Caveat: Size L geometry row from Vitus's own Venon EVO chart, the size Vitus quotes for 178-186cm riders and its nearest equivalent to a 56cm frame. Vitus's prose calls this a 12-speed groupset; its own component list is an 11-speed SRAM Rival 1 with a PG-1130 11-42 cassette, which is what is recorded. Weight is Vitus's own figure for size Medium. Vitus lists full mudguard mounts but no rack mounts, so rack mounts are recorded false. Vitus still lists this build as a current model but tags it model year 2023.
