The Vitus carbon is an entire different bike, looks like more a traditional cross bike. The alloy is more like a gravel truck, but with a more aggressive position.
You don't get any extra bottle mounts, but the frame is a few hundred grams lighter than the Arkose, nice if you ever have to shoulder it

Interesting, and very helpful!
That seems like a mad bargain (both the entry level one and the full carbon frame with Rival).
However, it doesn't look like it comes with a 3rd bottle cage. Is that right?
Not necessarily a deal breaker (I'd rather have mudguard mounts than a 3rd bottle cage), but then the Arkose does seem to have it all .....
