    Specialized Vita Elite

    The Tour de France-proven E5 frame and Carbon / Zertz forks make this Vita even more vital.

    E5 is Specialized’s most advanced, lightest weight aluminium alloy frame material. It wasn’t that long ago that Specialized’s sponsored riders rode E5 frames in the Tour de France. The FACT carbon fork boasts shock-damping Zertz implants, similar to what you will get on a £1,600 Specialized Roubaix race bike. Elite indeed.

    This all-new super-light women’s E5 fully manipulated alloy frame with fitness geometry is built for high speed, low-fuss, and great versatility. Internal cable routing contributes to the Vita Elite’s clean looks. The tapered head tube promotes laser-sharp steering and helps eliminate brake juddering. Rack/mudguard mounts prove its versatility.

    Upgrades over Specialized Vita

    • Lighter weight Specialized E5 frame.
    • Specialized FACT (Functionally Advanced Composite Technology) forks with carbon legs and Zertz inserts combine a responsive road feel with a forgiving ride.
    • Shimano Acera/Alivio 3x9 gearing elevate the drivetrain to 27-speed Rapidfire level.
    • Faster Specialized Nimbus 700x28 Flak Jacket tyres.
    • Women's Bike Sizing Guide.

    Same as regular Specialized Vita

    • Frame and fork eyelets make it easy to mount mudguards and racks. If you need anything fitted, just ask. Our labour charge is zero if the accessories are ordered at the same time as the bike.
    • Strong double-wall wheel rims.
    • Shimano triple crankset (with chainguard) - your best guarantee of reliable front shifting performance.
    • Specialized Body Geometry saddle and grips - the best guarantee of comfort on the bike today.

    'The Vita Elite offers the speed of a road bike with the comfort and confidence that comes from a flat bar, for exercising, commuting, or hitting the open road. A super light E5 alloy frame and carbon fork, plus 9-speed Shimano triple drivetrain means smooth, fast, and efficient performance.'
