Description
The Vitesse is for those who want the ultimate bike for urban commuting. We took our award-winning Vitesse D7, added an internal gear hub plus components from top component suppliers. Then we topped it off with mudguards, a rack and even a trouser saving chainguard so you can ride in any weather. New for 2008, the Vitesse gets upgraded with the robust new Radius handlepost. We’ve also added a new model with a smooth shifting Shimano Nexus 7 speed hub.
Technology Highlights
- Luggage bracket on the frame allows the use of hundreds of KlickFix compatible bags and baskets.
- 7005 aluminum frame with customdrawn Sonus tubing is light and strong.
- Radius Telescope handlepost adjusts to fit riders of all sizes.
