Vitus Escarpe 29 AMP Mountain Bike

The Escarpe 29 AMP is a hard-hitting trail bike that’s ready for anything the mountain throws your way. It features an exceptional full-carbon frame that has been armed with RockShox Lyrik Ultimate suspension forks and a Deluxe Ultimate rear shock, giving you ample agility, traction and control for all-terrain and all-weather conditions.

Suited to off-piste all mountain adventures and high-adrenaline alpine singletrack trail riding, Vitus has equipped this hardcore trail bike with a fast-shifting SRAM XO1 12-Speed groupset. This includes a SRAM Descendant carbon chainset, a wide-ranging 10-52T cassette and SRAM Code RSC hydraulic disc brakes. This drivetrain shifts through its gear range with impeccable smoothness and precision while the powerful disc brakes ensure the greatest stopping power – it’s ready to tackle any terrain with confidence and composure, anywhere on Earth. It also rolls upon Tubeless Ready Nukeproof Horizon V2 wheels wrapped in Maxxis Wide Trail (WT) Tubeless Ready tyres.

All Terrain Hardcore Full Suspension Bike

Turn it up. Right up. Redefine your trail riding and raise the bar for raw joy. The Vitus Escarpe 29 AMP Mountain Bike is full volume for when you need to go full-send. No half measures. Everything cranked up to 11. We’ve cut no corners in the build, so you can take any line on the trail. That’s not to say that things are getting out of hand here. Far from it.

Full Carbon All Mountain Trail Bike

The full-carbon frame is beautifully balanced, so it flows like mercury along the trail. You ride hard and fast, and the AMP keeps you on the right side of finding the limit. No surprises. The carbon chassis is married with the finest components to keep weight down, so acceleration comes easily, and climbs are less of a drag. And with soft rubber on the chainstays, the only soundtrack is the song from a happy freewheel or the shred of your tyres through dirt. Plus, your own whoopin’ and hollerin’, of course. If first back gets the beers in, there might be a few rounds on you.

Agile, Dependable and Versatile

Whether braking hard, pushing more power or negotiating a twisty descent, your centre of gravity is rarely constant, so key to the whole system is efficiency. To deal with the dynamic nature of trail riding, the Escarpe stays predictable and consistent so that you can stay loose. No white knuckles here.

The suspension kinematics have been enhanced compared to the previous platform, further countering the effects of pedal-bob and reducing the harshness of small bumps and trail vibrations that drain your energy and kill speed. Smooth and fast for longer. With an adjustable flip-chip, that can raise the bottom bracket by 6mm and increase the head angle, you can also customise the setup to best suit how and where you ride. Its geometry and performance are optimised throughout the size range, so whether you are S or XL, there’s no compromise on how this bike feels.

When riding trails there’s enough to think about without having to consider how the bike is going to respond to the next turn or obstacle. You should just know. It should do what you need it to. No backchat and no fight. On the Escarpe you don’t have to compensate or compromise. You don’t have to adjust your style. Just ride. Just concentrate on having fun.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
