When Vitus looked to expand into the United States, they looked for athletes in all cycling disciplines.

For us, true bikers are those people who find immense passion and joy on their bike. Whether competing at the highest level or leading a local race, the riders we choose to represent Vitus love bikes as much as we do and are part of this wonderful global community.
Kyle Strait embodies everything that is precious about Vitus. Kyle is friendly, helpful and a bike lover. His reputation is deserved and legitimate. His successes on the bike are far-reaching and among the highest levels. As a two-time Red Bull Rampage winner, World Cup downhill racer, perennial dual slalom podium threat, and accomplished slopestyle athlete, there's not much Kyle hasn't done. Ask anyone who knows Kyle, and they'll tell stories of a man who loves his family, friends, and the world of bikes. There was simply no better choice for Vitus.
Kyle will ride an Escarpe 275 as his preferred Dual Slalom outfit. Also, look for it on Dominer, E-Sommet and Sentier this year. Kyle will also participate in the design of several upcoming models.
Kyle isn't the only rider joining the Vitus Team this year. We've also curated a lineup of people who represent the heart of what we stand for on road, mountain and gravel.
