Bergamont Vitess 7 Lady

The 2024 Bergamont Vitess 7 Lady is a versatile trekking bike designed specifically for women, featuring high-quality components and a well-thought-out design. Priced at 1,299 EUR, it offers excellent value for money.

The Vitess 7 Lady’s frame is made from an ultra-light AL-6061 tube set and is designed for 28-inch wheels. The maximum load capacity is 130 kg, whilst the bike itself weighs 14 kg. The sturdy yet lightweight materials ensure a comfortable ride and durability.

The Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes at the front and rear guarantee reliable braking performance in all conditions. The Shimano BL-MT200 brake levers and the Shimano SM-RT10 brake discs, with a diameter of 160 mm, further enhance safety.

Precise gear-changing performance is provided by the Shimano Deore XT groupset, featuring the RD-T8000 Shadow rear derailleur and Shimano Deore SL-T6000 Rapidfire Plus shifters. The bike has a total of 30 gears, supported by the Shimano Deore FD-T6000 front derailleur and the Shimano FC-T521 crankset with 48/36/26 teeth. The Shimano CS-HG500 cassette offers a range of 11–32 teeth.

The BGM Trekking aluminium rigid fork and the aluminium head tube with disc brake mount ensure stability and precise steering. The lighting comprises the B&M Avy N Plus front light with a 40 lux LED and parking light, and the B&M Toplight 2 C Plus rear light, also featuring an LED and parking light function.

The Vitess 7 Lady is fitted with aluminium trekking pedals, which provide a secure grip. The Shimano BB-ES300 bottom bracket and the Shimano CN-HG54 drivetrain ensure efficient power transfer.

The BGM Pro Riser handlebars, with a width of 660 mm and a 15-degree bend, together with the BGM Comfort Ergo Double Density screw-on grips, offer a high level of comfort on longer rides. The BGM Pro stem is adjustable to 10° or 25° and has a length of 75 mm, allowing for individual customisation.

The wheelsets consist of BGM Pro X15 Disc rims with 32 black stainless steel spokes. The Schwalbe Marathon Almotion tyres with Raceguard and reflective strips, in size 50-622, offer excellent puncture protection and good visibility in road traffic. The hubs are a Shimano DH-3D37 hub dynamo at the front and a Shimano FH-M4050 at the rear, both fitted with Centre Lock disc quick-release mechanisms.

The Syncros Capilano Trekking Memory Foam saddle and the BGM Comp seatpost ensure a high level of riding comfort. SKS mudguards with stainless steel struts, an Atran kickstand and a Racktime / BGM Trekking Pro luggage rack with the Snapit 2.0 system and integrated mudguard mount complete the specification.

With a minimum rider height of 150 cm and a maximum rider height of 160 cm, the Vitess 7 Lady is ideally suited to shorter female riders. The frame geometry, with a seat tube length of 415 mm, a top tube length of 580 mm, a head tube angle of 70 degrees and a seat tube angle of 73 degrees, ensures a comfortable riding position. Other key dimensions include a chainstay length of 455 mm, a bottom bracket drop of 60 mm, a fork offset of 42 mm, a top tube height of 687 mm, a fork installation height of 464 mm, a crank length of 170 mm, a wheelbase of 1089 mm and a bottom bracket height of 304 mm.
