High-end German brand Votec offers a road bike for every rider.

The product of years of design experience and expertise, all Votec road bikes are fitted with high-quality modern components, represent incredible specification to price ratio and are put through some of the European bike industry’s toughest tests for safety and durability. All aluminium Votec frames are guaranteed for 10 years, with 6 years for carbon frames.
Bikes for the long haul
Rides can be demanding for different reasons. Maybe you want to ride 200 kilometres today, maybe the road isn’t as smooth as you’d like it to be, maybe the weather isn’t cooperating. For long and hard rides, you need the right bike. Inspired by classic endurance road design, the disc brake-equipped VRd’s relaxed yet sporty geometry, together with its modern feature set prove that spending long days in the saddle in less-than-ideal conditions can be more fun than you ever imagined.
The perfect frame for distance and comfort
Both VRd bikes, the Comp and Pro, are built around the same strong, lightweight Votec aluminium 6061-T6 frame. With its sloping top tube and higher stack height, the geometry is more relaxed, taking some of the pressure off the hands for great comfort during long days on the bike. Additionally, each frame has a full carbon fork for further weight savings.
Both frame and fork feature Shimano’s flat mount disc brake standard, allowing a much more discreet fitting of the brake calliper, while thru-axle is also featured front and back, giving an extra strong and secure interface between wheels and frame and preventing the disc rotors from rubbing. Further frame features include tyre clearance of up to 30mm, making it easy to fit wider tyres to take some of the bump out of the road, and internal cable routing for a cleaner look.
Both VRd series models come fully fitted with high-end components: Shimano 2x11 compact groupsets offer enough gears to conquer extremely hilly terrain with ease, while the powerful Shimano hydraulic disk brakes offer dependable stopping performance with smooth modulation in any weather. 28mm Schwalbe tubeless-ready tyres mounted on Alex CXD tubeless-ready rims provide the necessary smooth-rolling comfort for kilometre after kilometre on rougher roads.
High quality stem and handlebars from ZIPP and saddle from Ergon complete the package for this attractive endurance road bike.
