Vitus Escarpe 29 VR review - MBR

feb 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?

Hoogtepunten
  • Enjoys technical terrain, up or down.

  • Excellent geometry and decent sizing.

  • Simply a bargain.

Dieptepunten
  • Wheels needed frequent truing.

  • Underpowered Shimano brakes.

  • Mismatched response from the Manitou fork and RockShox shock.

okt 2015 · Guy Kesteven

A superb value, impressively sorted and seemingly unstoppable trail tank. Buy if you want an addictive trail crusher that offers an insane amount for the money

Hoogtepunten
  • Smooth 140mm fork, poised yet plush suspension, superb-value

Dieptepunten
  • Hefty, comes in a box from ireland not your local shop
