Finding your fit
Achieving your optimum riding position is essential to getting the most from your cycling. We understand that your new bike is a big commitment and we want you to be entirely confident that you have the correct size and set-up to match your riding style and goals.
We offer a state-of-the-art bike fitting service from our Experience Centre, using the idmatch system. This science-driven and self-adjusting fitting system tracks your motion and power output, among many metrics, to identify precisely your optimum position. It will show your correct frame size and exactly how to set up every component to the millimetre.
If you prefer to provide details of a recent bike fit, or of your current bike, our fitting experts can work with you remotely to ascertain the best size for you.
Choosing the right specification
Every bike built at Vires Velo can be tailored to you.
We don’t do a stock build. We work with each customer to choose the most suitable groupset, gearing and components to help you achieve your riding goals on your new bike. Use our online bike builder to see the current options available, delivery timeline and receive a quotation. Our build team will work with you closely to refine your choices once your order is confirmed.
Build Your BikeBuilding your bike
Your new bike will be assembled by hand in our Experience Centre in Norfolk. If you visit us, you can meet the mechanics who will build your bike and see our workshop and the dream builds in progress.
Our build team will work with your chosen components to create a bike as unique as you. They will work with you and use the data from your bike fit to refine your set-up.
Once built your bike is handed over to our fitting team who will make the final adjustments and dial in your fit.
Before any bike leaves our Experience Centre it is put through a rigorous quality control check to make sure the bike and components are working in perfect harmony ready for your maiden voyage.
