Enigma Etape Disc Ultegra build featuring Vivax Assist!
Tired of struggling to keep up with the group? Here's your answer, a beautiful titanium audax/ sportive disc brake bike coupled with the superb Vivax Assist system
Info on bike:
New for 2015 the Etape Disc combines all the Etape versatility with the added stopping power of hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes. A new heavier gauge chainstay plus a cleverly designed CNC machined rear dropout with internal disc mounts are particular features of the Etape disc. The dropout design ensures all the additional braking stresses imposed on the frame by disk brake callipers are absorbed through the dropouts themselves and not the frame stays, which could otherwise potentially fatigue over time with the extra braking loads generated.

Info on Vivax Assist
ONE BICYCLE – TWO FUNCTIONS - Authentic feeling with the 2-in-1 principle
Cycling is huge fun in a group or with a partner. But cycling with others can also quickly become frustrating. Weaker cyclists trail behind stronger ones for kilometer after kilometer - not really what most riders think of as group cycling.
And that is the situation the vivax 2-in-1 principle remedying: With the lightest electric motor available anywhere the bike looks as any conventional bike, and it provides that real and authentic ride feel. When the motor assist the legwork, you are still quick and still easy-going. When the motor is disabled all vivax bikes work with their free-running gears without resistance. Get more the extra adrenalin of 100% power to unleash the through capabilities you thought you never had.
Vivax's electric assistance is only usually needed from time to time for group cycling, ensuring the riders remain together. Electric support takes the strain off hard-working muscles at exactly the right moment. None of the group find the riding too taxing and none find it too easy. On easy routes electric support isn't needed at all, conserving battery capacity and battery life. Longer and more challenging touring routes are also possible, motiviating and giving the rider confidence. You keep the exhuberence and enjoyment of riding, even on these longer, harder routes.
The low total kit weight of 1,8 kg (including battery) keeps an authentic feeling ride. The 2-in-1 principle means you can easily mix active sports cycling with electronically assited riding. Longer day rides are possible. Vivax's incredible light weight also lets you easily reach speeds over 25 km/h without electronic support.
Sophisticated motor power is hidden in the bike‘s seat tube. It only weights 1.8 kg (inkl. battery). Press the button and the motor delivers 200 watts to the crankshaft. Press the button again and the motor stops.
Without motor power the bike functions as normal without any kind of resistance. The Lithium-Ion high-performance battery, which fits into a conventional saddlebag, provides you with motor-assisted cycling lasting for min. 60 minutes (6 Ah) or min. 90minutes (9 Ah).
The special design of the drive unit allows it to be built into any bicycle frame with the requisite seat tube internal diameter of 31.6 mm or 30.9 mm and is therefore invisible on the bicycle – except the on/off switch, which is unobtrusively located on the bar end.
The Vivax system has been referred to as Electronic Doping but is best suited for the rider who is struggling to keep up with the group.
Every kit comes standard with :
- Vivax drive unit
- 6Ah accu
- Saddlebag
- Modified alu seatpost
- Wired button
- battery charger
Weight: 1,8 Kg

Please be aware:
These bikes are built to order and have a 4-8 week lead time from order.
Fitting a Vivax Assist system to an Enigma bike voids the warranty so this bike with Vivax fitted does not have a warranty agreement availiable.
