Vitus Venon Evo Gr Rival Gravel Road Bike

The Vitus Venon EVO-GR Rival is a gravel bike to be reckoned with. Built for speed, efficiency, and all-road versatility, the Venon borrows engineering proven in our high-performance family of road bikes and applies it in a new platform capable on any road surface. This is road, unlimited.

A chameleon at home on gravel or tarmac, the Venon EVO is an all-road platform made in two flavors: the EVO-GR and EVO-RS. This specific bike, the Venon EVO-GR, is specced with gravel-specific components hung from a frame that smartly balances comfort and speed. Its sibling, the Venon EVO-RS, comes with components more typical of a road bike. The frame is the same, but we give you the choice to pick your poison — are you more the type hungry for washboard and dust, or do you prefer big days pounding pavement? Or, with a second set of wheels you can have the best of both worlds. The choice is yours.

As a member of our EVO family of bikes, the Venon EVO-GR is a high-performance carbon gravel bike that places a premium on speed and efficiency. Here, aerodynamics matter — at the front of the bike you’ll find tube shapes and integrated cable routing borrowed from our ZX-1 EVO aero road bike. At the rear of the bike, you’ll find inspiration from our Vitesse EVO all-rounder with dropped seatstays and a forgiving carbon layup for additional give when the road surface is less than ideal.

This Vitus Venon EVO-GR Rival is built up with SRAM’s Rival HRD 1×11-speed drivetrain. It uses an internally routed cockpit, custom headset and integrated fork for maximum efficiency and comes stock with Micheline Power Gravel 700x40c tires that roll fast and stick to lose terrain. The Venon EVO frame can accommodate up to 45mm tires, but we’ve paid special attention to its rear end to ensure the bike’s snappy race bike feel wasn’t sacrificed in the name of clearance.

In recent years we’ve seen the lines between gravel bikes and road bikes begin to blur. Riders are demanding more — more speed, more clearance, more versatility, and less fluff. The Venon EVO-GR is our answer to those demands.
