Vitus Substance pannier rack

Post by Tynie »

Hello all.
I have a Vitus Substance VRS-1 HT Apex 2022 gravel bike.
Would anyone be able to recommend a pannier rack for this model?

Depending on what you want to carry and if you want a top platform, I'd fit a Tubus fly, Vega, logo or Cargo etc. You have suitable mount points on your frame

but will probably have to space the lower mounts out from the dropouts a bit to clear the seat stays. Disc brake is tucked out of the way so that shouldn't be a problem.

How much stuff do you want to carry? That will help determine your choice.

IIRC you have mounting points but at the bottom straight rack legs may foul unless spacers are used or the straight legs are given a slight bend; you'll have to see what you'll be able to fit.
