Well-appointed, versatile and responsive, but the fork isn’t ideal for those above 80kg and the geometry is slightly short for serious terrain
Well-chosen and solid-performing tyres, brakes, wheels and drivetrain for the price
Geometry and cockpit kit create a relatively roomy feel and contribute to an agile ride that works on a wide variety of terrain
If you want to ride technical trails fast you may want more reach and a slacker head angle to boost stability
While the fork can work great, it’s beginning stroke is disproportionately firm if set up for heavier riders, affecting balance and traction

Successfully defending its 2018 title, the handsome Vitus Sentier 27 VR defies its sub £1,000 price point with the best spec, geometry and overall finish.
Great spec, fast, massively versatile and lightest on test.
No dropper post, cheap resin pad-only rotors.

Not long launched, we’ve had a new 2019 Vitus Sentier 27 VRS for test as the first of a long list of winter hardtails to review. This one proved to be a fun trail bike at a very reasonable price, it’s not the most aggressive bike you’ll ever sit on but it's an entertaining ride and the spec updates for this year are great upgrades. Review - Rose Count Solo 3 XC race bike The best MTB's you can buy for under £1,500 The Sentier 27 VRS is the top but one bike in the range with only the range topping Sentier VRX sitting above it.
