Team News: Vitus Pro Cycling go Disc

The Vitus Pro Cycling team will be racing aboard a custom Vitus ZX-1 Aero Disc Road bike for the 2019 race season. First introduced in 2018 the ZX-1 was developed by the in-house R & D team with input and feedback from sponsored Pro riders. The ZX-1 incorporates an aero inspired design, confidence inspiring race winning geometry along with enough comfort for all day rides.

“We’re extremely excited to see the performance of the ZX-1 Team bike come to life through Vitus Pro Cycling. Chez has put together a great squad of riders for the 2019 season and everyone at Vitus are excited to get racing and see the ZX-1 in the pro peloton.” Chris McGlinchey – Vitus Brand Marketing Manager

“We are fully behind the performance benefits disc brakes bring to road cycling, so much so that when we introduced our flagship ZX-1 race bike in 2018 we released this as a disc only platform.” Jodie Shann – Vitus Road Product Manager

“Our experience from countless hours of rider testing and feedback is that discs give the rider far greater braking control in all conditions, giving riders more time to focus on road positioning rather than worrying about braking performance.” JS
