However, the Vita is still a bike built for fitness and commuting. It is built for endurance. The forged alloy front and rear hub help to ensure that this bike will stand up to habitual use and lengthy commutes. Just like its higher priced Vita counterparts, the base Vita has flat aluminum handlebars, which ensure that long commutes will be balanced and comfortable. This model also has pedals with toe clips and strap, a feature that is handy for bumpy rides. While this bike is reputed to do well with repeated use, it is also said to be inadequate for any environment but the urban environment. As such, it is best suited to commuting.
