Descending on the Escarpe is a blast because it has geometry that’s aggressive enough and not so long, big or slack that it requires extra input or a different riding technique.

Around 7 or 8 years ago the Vitus Escarpe 29 was a way better 29er trail bike than Big Brand offerings. How is the Escarpe holding up now?
Roomy sizing
Massive upgrade potential
Beautiful climber
Rattly rebound knob
MIsmatched calliper feel
Slacker head angle would be nice

Balanced uphill and downhill performance, with a shape that encourages you to push hard
Excellent geometry and smooth handling
Parts package delivers exceptional value for money
Fox’s suspension is outshone by competitors’ RockShox dampers
