Where are you riding today? Around town? On smooth asphalt? Through your local forest?
It doesn’t really matter when you’re on the Votec VRC. Sure, there are umpteen gravel bikes and road bikes with a few extra millimetres tyre clearance, but the VRC is an entirely different beast.
We decided to make a sporty all-road bike with none of the usual compromises.
The new UD Carbon frameset, with shaped floating seatstays and its VR-Knot construction is both incredibly light and durable – perfect for KOM attempts on the tarmac but tough enough to deal with the type of unpaved backroads you find a little off the beaten track.
You might not even have noticed the hidden mounts for full mudguards, and with high flat-mount disc brakes designed for 160/180mm rotors, bad weather is really no excuse for missing a ride – not that you would, anyway. The VRC is ideal for long days in the saddle, but we guarantee time will fly.
