Great Website you have there! Unfortunately the Radon Regard 7 is missing wich I'm looking forward to buy and to compare it first. Right now it's available for only 1.300€ and looks quite good for that price.
Thanks! I've added the Radon Regard 7.0, seems like good value! Here it is compared to the Rose Backroad bikotic.com/?BhApi2yR (link for desktop version of bikotic only).
I have the Zenium Tiagra also... awesome bike with a couple of upgrades.... I got Vision Trimax 30's wheels (bought for $230 new on E bae) with Conti 5000 tires and TPU tubes .... carbon seat post and Carbon seat... Carbon Raceworks crank ... bike weighs without pedals 7.6kgs... changed the brake pads to Cycle1st semi-mettalic Brake pads stops on a dime with change left over now... total investment before taxes USD $1900
I watched it all.. ding ding ding. Do we have a winner??! New subscriber here. great info. suggestions: Everyone has different shopping criteria. Could you consider a race gravel bike for us? super popular now. The biggest market for your vids are young pros, empty nesters, and retirees w expendable income who want to pick up a fast but comfortable gravel racing bike (as gravel is much safer than road racing / crit racing). There is a sweet spot Venon is SOOO close too: long cage sram derailer with 10/50 twelve speed with 1x 44 crank (440% is fine downhill or on road). Why: Most good races in the midwest have tough climbs around 15% avg 250' rise, 20%+ max grade... a 10/50 1x 44 would be perfect. Any suggestions? i will try your website now... Can you give Venon input to make these things optional (at a price)? have inside connections? Vitus Venon options i could make my perfect bike using: - power meter spider on crank - handlebar width selection (to reduce drag w/380mm bars on large or med frames) - 90, 110 , 120, 130, or 140mm stems - 350mm or 400mm seatposts - x01 axs etap w/ 10/50 cassette (w/44 crank) I love my M bikes (54cm) with extended seatposts and stems as a 6' guy) keeps weight down, faster, and more compliant with much better weight balance on wheels going up hills than me on a large frame with a short stem. A mash of the vitus venon and the 3t exloro ultra eagle would be great (cant find ultra eagle model on your compare program) roadbikedatabase.com/bikes/2023/3t/exploro-ultra/2023-3t-exploro-ultra-eagle/
Have you compared/can you compare the new Vitus Venon RS with Cannondale Super Six Evo SE 2023 which is now seriously discounted in some places? The Super Six now looks very competitive
mapdec cycling just created a "shorts" clip that had a mechanic push down on the bars and it was extremely flexy...........did not look stable compared to the BMC he pushed on.
Perfect video. Answers a lot of questions but also poses some I hadn't considered. Still can't make my mind up on 2x or 1x set up. I will mostly be on pretty horrible country lanes and only light gravel or single track.
I would not buy a carbon gravel bike anymore. I do have a Cannondale Topstone Carbon. The worse purchase of my life! If I could go back in time I would have gone Titanium for the frame.
I NEVER WOULD SAY that there's 1 bike that can do everything - speaking from a cyclist's point of view who rides 3 different cycling disciplines....true, a cyclocross bike can do a semi-rough terrain, maybe mild trails and paved roads...BUT CAN IT DO ENDURO? nope...CAN IT JUMP BIG JUMPS? Nope...CAN IT DO STREET TRICKS? ...maybe a few basic tricks, but still - Nope...CAN IT COMPETE IN HIGH SPEED CYCLING? Nope.... So for occasional cyclists , it will do - I own one and I totally love the versatility of a Cyclocross bike...but for strict discipline cycling, NOPE!
You are still pure, unlike channels like GCN or Bike Radar, where the material is actually ads.
Always great to get a new Bikotic video!
The concept bike had me laughing out loud... good stuff.... been waiting for a new video.... thought it was over
Why do I actually like and want that insane bike concept 😂 looks like so much fun!
Watching the whole vid. Not liking all the other channels just pumping out 10min videos
Like the size feature. Take my hat off to you for dedicating so much time and effort into your website and these vids. Thanks.
Made it all the way. Great content! Website upgrades are awesome.
Thank you for the excellent video. Cheers from across the pond.
Finally!! A bikotic video!! I can't tell you how happy I was to get the notification! Its biking season now
Really appreciate your content!!
man, this Venon actually is actually the best road value out there
Definitely a gravel TT bike for your next bikotic project bike!
Yay!!!! Missed you. Will watch it all twice
Thanks!
I almost died laughing with your concept bike 🤣as soon as I saw the tire... I smashed the like button... cutting edge !!! Great video.
Made it until the end ! Very interesting video as usual. One thing to mention is the carbon wheels on these venom...!
Love this. Cycling Weekly is already giving that AI bike 3 stars
So glad you're back :)
Thanks!
What a brilliant site and channel - thank you so much !!!!
My fave cycling youtube channel, missed your vids!
Legend!
keep going, appreciate the work
Thanks, will do!
Welcome back Dude 🤙
Thanks!
Great to see another video - I made it to the end, too! The site is amazing, thanks for all your hard work 😀
Cheers!
Been thinking about that canyon grizl also.
your web app is really good 👍👍
i think the AI quite nailed it actually... it is the most aerodiscframe aerodiscframe aerodiscframes can be imho...
1) I did watch the video until the end. I always liked your humor, creativity and eye for detail
2) I have the Cannondale Top 4 carbone and I really love the bike
3) I do have some question about the Razzle bike, if I may
3a) Does the cassette needs a special lubricant ? I would to have to spend a lot of money on special wax of some kind
3b) Does the cassette entails special import taxes into the EU after brexit?
You do wonderful work!!
hahaha, we've only made one cassette so far - it works great.... the only draw back is the SWAT security team don't like wearing lycra! Cheers!
:) Thanks!
You have great commentary and wit.
Fantastic analysis. Best bike channel online.
Thanks!

@@bikotic Holy smokes, that was fast! Awesome job, thanks a lot!
thanks for sharing pretty good comparison on different bike brands. my selection will be Vitus venon exo
The website is legit amazing.
Thanks!

🤣🤣 Welcome back! So many new bikes to review. 🍿
Like the geometry bits👍
insane! what a tool u made! cartoon pictures are silly. nice.
Nice looking bikes but the prices are getting horrendous 😢
Bikotic, thinking of the RS.....what is the maximum double chainring on the front?? I can't find this info anywhere......thank you..
I emailed Vitus and they said the max chainring for 2x is 54t, Sram wide bb 1x is 46t, standard bb 1x is 40t.
Topstones are really nice around your price point.
Unfortunately, the 2x is limited to 40mm tires because of the front derailleur.
I watched it all.. ding ding ding. Do we have a winner??!

Those seem pretty different. The supersix geo looks very aggressive compared to the Venon.
@@Windband1 Geometry not too dissimilar in actual fact.
Thanks , liked and subbed .
Would really like to compare this to the Fairlight Secan
I have one frame that does eerything ! You just need to have two wheelsets - this Venon would work the same way,
Now I see why I'm confused. We have a different selection of bikes here in the US. We just get the All Road and the Gravel. No Aero.
I enjoy your videos.
long time no see :)))
Watched it!
Nero w GC Performance had some comments on this bike.
And they were ridiculous
mapdec cycling just created a "shorts" clip that had a mechanic push down on the bars and it was extremely flexy...........did not look stable compared to the BMC he pushed on.
Pretty sure he said the frame and it wasn't this one
Why not canyon grzl ?
Don't I say I do fancy the grizl? Thought I did
@@bikotic i mean instead of vitus
Perfect video. Answers a lot of questions but also poses some I hadn't considered. Still can't make my mind up on 2x or 1x set up. I will mostly be on pretty horrible country lanes and only light gravel or single track.
👍(Watched it all the way to the end!) Vitus have attractive prices. Venon is master of non. It is in the name.
Please make more vids!
Made it.
😃👍
I don't understand the logic of "Winter bike"😅
Ah, yes, the Ancient Greek science of Drommertry
The frame looks anemic like the Ciocc Morpho.
5:00 😂
I like the Venon, but thats still ALOT of money for a bicycle.
I would not buy a carbon gravel bike anymore. I do have a Cannondale Topstone Carbon. The worse purchase of my life! If I could go back in time I would have gone Titanium for the frame.
I NEVER WOULD SAY that there's 1 bike that can do everything - speaking from a cyclist's point of view who rides 3 different cycling disciplines....true, a cyclocross bike can do a semi-rough terrain, maybe mild trails and paved roads...BUT CAN IT DO ENDURO? nope...CAN IT JUMP BIG JUMPS?

🤣 so true
Next time dont take so long to release a video 😂
Looks similar to a scott addict
Availability is still an issue 🙂
no - i dont want a one bike that does it all if it's Vitus.
After the photoshop I jumped over the Video. Sorry but the Vitus is not interesting... honestly!
