The Vitus Energie VR Cyclocross reads well but personally I am not a fan of the colorway (I know this is the last thing you should probably worry about but you need to love that bike right?). Could just get it custom painted right?
Green is much nicer & as above, can always 'upgrade' some of the parts with the savings. The only difference with the rival crank is the spider which allows for direct mount rings.. otherwise they are the same weight. Go straight for Force ;)
Follwoing all the advice above I found the Vitus Energie Cyclocross Bike (Apex 1x11 -2019) on sale for £749.99
