Résumé

The Vitus Escarpe is celebrated for its excellent suspension, fantastic geometry, and remarkable value, offering a well-specced, ready-to-roll trail bike that excels in descents and provides a fluid, rock-melting ride. While it's praised for its speed-sustaining suspension and killer specification for the price, some reviews note frame flex and a slack front end that can challenge climbing efficiency. The bike is often compared to its sibling, the Vitus Sommet, and stands out for its balance and descending prowess.

Pros
  • Excellent suspension performance

  • Fantastic geometry and balance

  • Remarkable value and specification

  • Fluid, rock-melting ride feel

  • Effortlessly rapid on technical trails

Cons
  • Noticeable frame flex when pushing hard

  • Slack front end challenges climbing efficiency

  • High bottom bracket and tall seat mast for some riders

Vitus Escarpe 29 VRX review

avr. 2019 · Tom Marvin

The Vitus Escarpe 29 is probably not the bike I’d choose for a 40km epic in the hills, but if you’re happy to flick the compression switch on the DPX2 shock and spin to the top of a climb, you’ll be rewarded with a smooth descent on pretty much any trail you dare to tackle.

Points forts
  • Controlled and confident descent-focused rear suspension

  • Incredible parks package

Points faibles
  • A bit wallowy on flat trails and no KOM winner up hills either

Vitus Escarpe 29 VR review - MBR

févr. 2017 · Benjamin Haworth

Having endured all four of the UK’s seasons as one our fleet of long termer test bikes, how has the keenly priced Vitus Escarpe 29 VR held up?

Points forts
  • Enjoys technical terrain, up or down.

  • Excellent geometry and decent sizing.

  • Simply a bargain.

Points faibles
  • Wheels needed frequent truing.

  • Underpowered Shimano brakes.

  • Mismatched response from the Manitou fork and RockShox shock.
