The Vitesse is one of our most popular models and is an excellent combination of performance, light weight, and value. Two versions, with 7 speed Shimano Nexus or 3 speed SRAM hub gear, offer low maintenance and trouble-free service, mile after mile. With a chainguard and optional dynamo hub, lights, mudguards and rack the Vitesse can be set up as the perfect urban machine. The ideal bike for cyclists looking for functional, convenient urban transport.
- Internal gear hubs are perfect for commuting in nasty urban conditions because they require very little maintenance no matter what weather you ride in
- BioLogic PostPump – a high capacity floor pump integrated into the seatpost means you’ll never leave your pump behind at home again
- Luggage socket on the frame is compatible with hundreds of different bags and baskets from makers such as Ortlieb, Rixen and Kaul, and Agu
