Details
The ideal gravel adventure bike for all-terrain riding, the Vitus Substance VRS-1 HT Gravel Bike (Apex) features a strong and lightweight aluminium frame, RockShox suspension forks and a SRAM Apex 1-11-Speed groupset with hydraulic disc brakes.
The Substance VRS-1 HT features a strong and lightweight aluminium frame that is equipped with RockShox suspension forks, a SRAM Apex 11-Speed groupset, hydraulic disc brakes and a Brand-X Ascend dropper seatpost. Offering exceptional traction, stability and control for riding across all terrains, this bike is a superb bike for rapid off-road trail sessions and gravel racing.
Agile, Efficient and Stylish Gravel Road Bike
The Vitus Substance loads your ride with freedom and choice. It expands your world, opening up new possibilities to ride and explore where otherwise you might not have looked. Unshackled from the same old routes, each ride reveals new ways ahead, like a fresh map - that bridleway to who-knows-where, the gravel track through the woods or the rougher shortcut that you know is quicker but that other bikes couldn’t handle. See, in a world obsessed with pace, sometimes we need to focus on the place, the journey and the fun that comes from a bike with the capability to seek out routes that others would avoid.
RockShox Rudy Suspension and SRAM Apex 11-Speed Groupset
Whether embarking on a high-adrenaline gravel race or simply staying light for a mixed-terrain local loop, the Substance VRS-1 HT is capable of adapting to suit your ride, more so than ever before. At its core, a double-butted aluminium frame and RockShox suspension fork are tuned for comfort on long days and across varied surfaces. Aided by big volume tyres that soften the bumps and add traction over rutted or loose tracks, the build also includes a dropper post for maximum freedom of movement on the steepest terrain.
With compatibility for 1X or 2X drivetrains and either 700c or 650b wheels, you can really fine-tune the setup to best fit where you are riding. And if ultra-racing or multi-day expeditions are your thing, the frame has mounts for luggage, waterbottles and mudguards. For those remote rides where water, food and spares might be hard to come by, you can always load up with whatever you need to reach the next supply point.
Strong, Lightweight and Versatile Gravel Bike
This isn’t simply about the same cliches of getting off the beaten track or going in search of the road less travelled, because the Substance is more than a gravel race bike. It broadens your horizons, delivering richer experiences and powerful lasting memories. It’s a bike that enables you to do more. It’s a bike that gives you options. The Substance empowers a new mindset, one that entices you to break away from routine and to ride where you want to ride, unrestricted.
Built, Tuned and Ready to Ride
When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.
Please Note: Due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.

sorted byStill a good deal though if lightweight mtb with Tomacesque curly bars is your bag (edited)
1. Gravel bikes still aren't a thing.....despite what the marketing men think.
2. If they were a thing (they're not) they wouldn't have a suspension fork.
So it's a parts bin compilation special at best....
Looks like a good deal, although it's pretty hefty for a gravel bike. Weighs over 3kg more than mine, and almost as much as my XC MTB. Will probably roll quite well on the road or flatter gravelly stuff though.
My full sus xc machine is very light, it’s aluminium and weighs less than my mates new £4K Trek full carbon and that tips the scales at 12.8kg (edited)
Good spec and great price
Ok so slightly heavy but unless your racing probably going to have minimal impact to your riding
I wish this was available when I got my gravel bike, as that small amount of front suspension really helps on the hard pack bumpy mud around the edges of fields and the dropper will help on tricky descents (edited)
Hypocrites.
Rigid gravel bikes are archaic.
Is this like a racer with your mates Grifter wheels on it?
Now, if they had replaced the racer handlebars with Chopper handlebars, then you would really have something similar to what we used to bosh up every other weekend when looking to mix it up a bit!
