United Vitessa 1.0 - Review

The United Vitessa's frame has been made using Aluminium Alloy, which is perfect to achieve an excellent weight-to-comfort ratio. The design of the tubes ensures supreme performance on all kinds of terrain – tested on cobblestones, rough urban roads and smooth city roads. The performance across all terrains was impeccable. The welding technology used on the frame of this Bicycle adds to its lightweight. This Bicycle comes equipped with a carbon fork. The fork absorbs shocks felt from riding on cobblestones, and/or bumpy, rough terrain efficiently.

The United Vitessa 1. comes equipped with Shimano Sora front and rear derailleurs. This 18-Speed Bicycle is fast when on the road, tackling climbs and flat roads with ease. The shifting was lag-free with the Sora derailleurs. The 18-Speed shifting is controlled by Shimano Sora single lever paddle Shifters which require minimal effort to shift.

The United Vitessa 1. is a well-designed Bicycle. The smooth welding on the frame joints adds to the overall aesthetics of this Bicycle. The Bicycle we test rode came in a Gloss Red primary colour with White as the secondary colour. The branding on the frame of this Bicycle is significant while not being overpowering. The thin tubes made the Bicycle look sleek and lightweight.

The Untied Vitessa 1. comes equipped stock United branded Caliper brakes. When tested, both interval and abrupt braking was powerful while remaining stable and in control. The braking was as effective on both dry and wet terrain on the test ride. This Bicycle comes equipped with an Alloy drop handlebar. The compact shape of the handlebar enables the rider to place their hands on the drop bar without being in an overly aggressive, strained riding position.

The United Vitessa 1. comes equipped with fast rolling and sleek Kenda K152 7x25C tires which are attached to stock Alloy double walled rims. The tires offered a smooth and fast ride. Cornering felt stable, allowing for crisp sharp turns while being stable.This Bicycle comes equipped with stock United Saddle. The saddle offered a level of support and cushioning that is well suited to a rider on faster, short-distance rides or long endurance focused rides.
