Vitess, Pronounced

Why not build a bike along the same principles as those used at the top auto makers? Quality assurance and management are two of thefundamentals of Vitess. This is the way we have structured our internal operations and chosen our partners. An excellent product must be perfectevery single time it is made. The highest quality and a guarantee that it will be consistent over time: this is our commitment.

Racing on Sunday, commuting on Monday...This is as good as it gets in the automotive world. Only a few prestigious

manufacturers have achieved such result. A road bike built like a sports car.Your Vitess bike has been developed so that high-performance

is achieved without compromising comfort.

3T components come in 3 different performance levels: Pro, Team and Limited. The Pro level is on par with other top-of-the-line brands.Team was designed for top-level competitive cycling; “Tour de France” ready. Limited is what 3T considers the “full expression of theirUltimate Performance philosophy”. In other words, it is what F1 is to the auto industry. The only difference is that driving an F1 is neitherpractical nor accessible. Driving a Vitess equipped with F1-derived technology by 3T is not only accessible but it's what Vitess riders useevery day.

The right fit for you...Our bikes are tailored to you; you get what you need,

not what is available. Expensive post-purchaseupgrades are no longer required.

Starting from an early concept-drawing, your Vitess bike is tailored to your needs. Building an exceptional bike can only be achieved bypaying great attention to details and ensuring that each component has its place in the system. From bike development, to componentsourcing and factory assembly, we follow a modular approach. This allows us to categorize and very analytically and objectively decide whatcomponents best fit the requirement of each given function and which partners can fully support our vision.

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTSHWT: Hand Wrap Technology. Only the most exclusive carbon frames on the market use HWT. Each tube is individually hand-wrapped andcured. Tubes are then joined and hand-wrapped and go through a secondary curing process. HWT allows a much better control of thequality of each element of the frame and guarantees optimal structural integrity and best Stiffness-to-Weight ratio. HWT requires greatexpertise in carbon processing and carries higher processing costs.

VSS: Vitess Steering System. Unique asymmetric and oversized head-tube with fully-integrated head-set. Over-sized 1.5inch lower bearing. Expander-less bearing compression mechanism for carbon fibre fork tube integrity and easy adjustment. The head-tube is fully-walledto provide maximum stiffness for unbeatable steering feel and stability. The head-set was developed by and is manufactured for Vitess byAcros in Germany. The fork was developed to be fully integrated with VSS.

VTC: Variable Tube Construction. Each tube is uniquely engineered to provide stiffness (for power transfer, steering stability) in key areas andrelative compliance (for rider comfort) in others. The shape, carbon lay-up, carbon type and wall thickness of each tube varies along its lengthto provide the mechanical characteristics needed in each area. Oversized down-tube, top-tube and chain-stays for maximum stiffness and

torsional rigidity, thin-section seat-stays for vertical compliance. High-performance without compromising riding comfort.
