Vitus Zenium
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
Zenium VR Disc owners described this rig as both comfortable and lively. One hundred percent of owners that left reviews recommended this bike. It sports a high-quality aluminum frame and a carbon fork. This combination keeps things affordable and - by all reports from owners and experts – absorbs shocks and delivers a comfortable ride. Despite having an excellent Shimano 105 groupset, the manufacturers have kept the price low and resisted turning the Zenium into a flashy showpiece. It was described as tough, comfortable, fast and resilient on uneven city streets. As one owner said, “This bike makes me excited to get out and ride - and what more can you ask?”Expert Reviews
