Sep 2017 · Joseph Delves

A trail hooligan that’s all about the descents

Low-slung 29-er hardtail brings capability and grin-factor in serious terrain to trail riders on a budget.

Vitus Sentier VRS review

Apr 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Remarkably sorted and well-equipped ready-to-riot hardtail for those who like to really connect with the trail. Buy if you want a bang-up-to-date budget blaster

Highs
  • Superb slackened, refreshed frame, competent spec, sorted handling

Lows
  • Very little, given the inbuilt limitations of a hardtail with a budget fork
