A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Résumé

The Vitus Escarpe is a highly capable enduro bike that excels in descents with its controlled suspension and aggressive trail attitude. It offers a killer specification for its price, including high-quality dampers and solid build components. However, it's noted for being a bit wallowy on flat trails and not the best climber, with some models facing issues like a high bottom bracket and tall seat mast.

Pros
  • Controlled and confident descent-focused rear suspension

  • Killer specification for the price

  • High-quality dampers and solid build components

  • Smooth and responsive suspension stroke

  • Great value with top-spec components

Cons
  • A bit wallowy on flat trails

  • Not the best climber

  • High bottom bracket and tall seat mast on some models

  • Extra weight compared to competitors

  • Less range in gearing compared to SRAM Eagle

Key Quotes
Despite 140mm of rear-wheel travel, the Escarpe was one of the best all-out descenders on test

‘Cheapest bike here, bang on specification and silent as it gets’
Dirt Mountainbike logoDirt Mountainbike
It’s still a great bike but if Vitus wants to regain its TBOTY crown it needs to trim some height off the frame.

The bikes were both designed at the same time, and there's a good reason they bear more than a passing resemblance to each other – they share the same carbon front triangle.

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.
