Great spec and a bargain price, as long as the seat tube isn’t too long or the reach too short
Top-spec parts for a bargain price
A fluid and forgiving descender that doesn’t feel vague in turns or across cambers
Seat tube and reach numbers could do with a tweak to unlock more potential
A full-length outer gear cable would be more UK-proof

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.

If you’re after a do-it-all hardtail ready for rough and tumble riding, then the Vitus Sentier 29 VR hits the spot with a solid and well-thought-out spec for the cash and confidence inspiring handling paired to the big wheels. While the aluminium frame isn’t the most comfortable thing out there, budget for a dropper post and you'll have a superb ride. The best mountain bikes for under £1,000 - the best budget buys ridden and rated When should you replace your bicycle helmet? What's the best way to clean disc brakes on a bicycle?
