Substance
Izcelsme
The Substance ir Vitus piedzīvojumu/visu ceļu grants platforma, kas tiek pārdota tieši patērētājam (ilgu laiku caur Chain Reaction / Wiggle, tagad atjaunotā Vitus zīmola ietvaros). Tā ir veidota ap vienu ideju: stabils, ērts, visu darāms rāmis, kas pieņem gan 700c, gan 650b riteņus, stiprinājumus bagāžniekiem, dubļusargiem un bikepacking somām, kā arī 1x vai 2x piedziņas. Klāsts sniedzas no £800 alumīnija Microshift komplektācijas līdz oglekļa SRAM eTap AXS, tāpēc viena un tā pati ģeometrija kalpo gan pirmreizējam grants velosipēda pircējam, gan tālsatiksmes tūristam, kurš uzskata, ka dīleru zīmolu cenas Trek Checkpoint vai Cervelo Aspero ir pārmērīgas.
Specifikācijas
- Rāmis
- 6061-T6 double-butted aluminium (Substance V); Reynolds 725 steel (SRS); UD T700 carbon (CRS/CRX). All with UD carbon fork.
- Svars
- kg
- Transmisija
- Varies by build: Microshift R8 2x8 (50/34T, 11-28T) on alloy V; Shimano GRX 600/800 2x11 (46/30T, 11-34T) on CRS-2/VR; SRAM Apex/Rival 1x11 (40T, 11-42T) on SRS/CRX. Frame takes 1x or 2x.
- Bremzes
- Hydraulic disc on mid/high builds (Shimano GRX 600 / SRAM Apex, 160mm rotors); Tektro MD-C310 cable-actuated flat-mount disc with 160mm rotors on entry Substance V.
- Riteņi
- Tubeless-ready, dual-wheelsize frame (700c or 650b). Alloy V: WTB ST i23 TCS 2.0 rims, 700c, 32h, Vitus KT hubs. CRS-2: WTB SpeedTerra 650b TCS. SRS: Prime Kanza 650b.
Verdikts
- Outstanding value - components and ride quality well above the direct-to-consumer price, undercutting dealer-brand rivals (multiple reviews rate it 8/10 to 4/5).
- Balanced, confident handling: 71.5deg head angle and long wheelbase keep it stable in sand, loose gravel and at speed without feeling twitchy.
- Seriously comfortable ride, especially the steel SRS, helped by big-volume tyres and the carbon fork damping vibration.
- Genuinely versatile: dual 700c/650b wheels, 1x or 2x drivetrains, and full mount set make it equally a commuter, tourer and gravel bike.
- Sorted gear ratios on the GRX builds work well for both road and off-road sections.
- Own-brand saddle is firm with minimal padding - many riders will want to swap it.
- Stock handlebar has only a slight (3deg) flare; reviewers preferred a wider 12-16deg flare for off-road control.
- Stock WTB tyres (Byway/Venture) lack tread for wet, muddy or winter conditions and the sidewalls can weep sealant when first set up tubeless.
- 650b builds are noticeably slower than 700c on tarmac - a trade-off, not a flaw, but worth knowing.
- Some cheaper builds show their price: cassette chain-chatter/vibration and brakes that get screechy when wet and mud-caked.
