An impressive spec for the price and plenty of upgrade potential, but a few geometry tweaks would improve its ride
Smooth ride with plenty of grip on the ups and downs
Impressively specced, with performance-enhancing components in key areas
Flicky ride that’s well-suited to flatter trail centres and bridleways
Geometry may not suit everyone, especially the seat tube length and reach
No dropper post, although that’s excusable given the low price

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.
