What can we say about the Vitus Nucleus 27 VR that’s not been said? As winner of this test four years in a row, its accolades say everything.
Ride quality and build kit belie its price tag
Still no clutch mech to help keep the chain on

Spec highlights include the wide (29mm internal) WTB rims and the Schwalbe tyre combo — a Magic Mary up front in the grippy ADDIX Soft compound and a Nobby Nic out back with standard ADDIX rubber but a toughened Double Defense casing.. .
