“Exceptional service from inquiry to purchase. Hayden in particular was excellent - his knowledge and hospitality during the bike fit were very impressive. Cannot recommend Vires Velo enough to anyone looking to pick up their next set of wheels.”

Vires Velo 5 star review on 26th January 2024

“Brilliant experience from start to finish. Professional bike fit on the latest equipment with detailed feedback throughout the process with Hayden. Bike built on the same day by the onsite workshop team, allowing just enough time to go into Norwich city centre for a coffee and a bit of shopping before picking up my new bike 😃 End result, top notch bike measured and built for you in one day!”

“Had the best service and advice from bike fit to making my dream bike come true. Always there if needed for questions”

“Previously owned a Factor 1 which I really enjoyed however, being from Scotland there was no longer a local dealer so when I opted to change to the Ostro, it was a big decision knowing I had to visit Vires Velo in Norfolk. I can thank all the guys enough as they made the 16h round trip a very special and memorable experience, service received was what you would expect from a brand such as Factor.”

Helpful Report

“A fantastic experience sums up my interaction with Vires Velo from the bike fit to receiving the the Factor Ostro VAM UK edition. The whole experience feels tailored to the individual as you can configure the bike to your preference from parts to Euro brake setup, etc. The Ostro VAM is my first road bike and while it's likely tailored to the more avid and pro riders, for a newbie, you instantly understand why it is one of the top road bikes available. It is light, fast, sturdy, comfortable, and very responsive...and expensive, but quality and personalized services and products come at a price.”

“Great experience with collection & fitting of bike Factor O2 at Vires Velo. Really appreciated the attention to detail on the bike fit, and came away with a lot of useful information and a slightly more relaxed position on the bike as needed for long days in the french alps planned for the summer. Bike was everything I had hoped for, and pizza box of spares was an unexpected bonus. Only opportunity for improvement was for wheels to be set-up tubeless as requested, rather than with inner tubes.”

“Amazing service from the enquiery to deliver. Any questions were answered in a very quick and timely manner.”

“Great service from a great bunch of people. The bike fit experience was really good as was the ordering and collection of my bicycle.”

Helpful Report

“A great team who did their best to make sure I got exactly what I was after. Every part of the process was great, from viewing their site to asking questions about what I needed. When we arrived to collect the bike someone (not a member of Vires Velo) directed us to the back entrance, so we entered the building through the workshops. Not a problem and we probably saw a lot more than some customers get to see.”

Helpful Report

“I’m left with a fairly sour taste in my mouth as feel that I should have been formed that a new o2 model was being launched only a month or so after my purchase. The bike fit was a good experience but overall not feeling particular happy about Vires Velo customer service.”

Helpful Report

“From start to finish buying my Ostro Vam was a pleasure, nothing was too much trouble, all my enquiries and requests were dealt with brilliantly by Hayden and Rob. I wanted a few custom touches on my bike and nothing was too much trouble. My bike arrived safely and was easy to assemble. The quality of the bike is fantastic, I can't recommend the Ostro Vam and Vires Velo enough.”

“Purchasing through Vires Velo was an absolute delight! Hayden was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about cycling, guiding me through the selection process with expert advice. Their personalised approach and attention to detail made the buying experience seamless and enjoyable. With Hayden's help, I felt confident in my choice and couldn't be happier with the new bike.”

Helpful Report

“Exceptional. In every respect. From pre-sales advice, sizing, customisation through to delivery and after sales; simply exceptional. Without doubt the most comprehensive service and support you could ask for.”

Helpful Report

“The service at Vires Velo has been super. Spending this sort of money on a bike is no easy decision but Hayden and the rest couldn't have made the process more enjoyable. From the test ride to checking in several weeks after the purchase, the team at Vires Velo were outstanding. Luckily they also sell great bikes. 10/10”

“I recently completed the Maratona dles Dolomites in Italy on my Factor Ostro Vam. The bike was faultless over the course of 138km and included 4230m of climbing. It was light and responsive on the climbs and felt like it was on rails on the descents and after 6.5 hours in the saddle I still felt ok so the comfort was very much appreciated. The bike drew lots of admiring looks and comments and really stood out. I simply cannot recommend this bike highly enough.”

“Good service and communication and a highly personalised customer experience. Very different and much better than buying a ready made bike off the shelf from a bike store!”

“Very impressed with the service and although I didn’t use the fitting service, I was able to discuss my existing fit and ensure the same fit. Also the custom paint process was a very positive experience and the results excellent.”

“The team at Vires Velo have been outstanding in every way. From my initial enquiry, pre order fit and test ride, the build and order process and finally collection and handover.”

“Brilliant service and communication throughout the ordering, sizing, and build process. Impressed with the thought that goes into the whole experience, and the small but important details that many other bike shops miss.”

Helpful Report

“The whole team made the whole event of buying a new bike a special occasion; relaxing and easy whilst making it exciting. The whole process was brilliant start to finish. For someone who isn't as technically literate on bikes, Hayden and the team made the daunting process of building my own bike seamless and straight forward. I now own something so personal to me and therefore so meaningful. It's unique - it's mine, and it's totally thanks to the team. It's the third most expensive thing I have ever bought behind my house and my car - The service I got was light years ahead of the Latters! That says it all”
