Vitus Escarpe 29 CRS Mountain Bike

The Escarpe 29 CRS offers exceptional trail riding stability and composure for riding your favourite off-road routes faster while also giving you the confidence to set your sights on greater challenges. It features a strong and lightweight full-carbon frame that is strong, stiff and lightweight – this adds to the bike’s responsiveness, agility and control in all riding conditions. Enabling you to ride faster with more control, Vitus has equipped it with 150mm-travel RockShox Lyrik suspension forks, a Deluxe Select+ rear shock and a Shimano SLX 12-Speed groupset with hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls fast and stable upon a Tubeless Ready Nukeproof Neutron V2 wheels wrapped in high-grip Maxxis Wide Trail (WT) Tubeless Ready tyres.

Fast, Agile and Fun Full Suspension Trail Bike

Whether lapping your favourite trail centre loops or finding your way on unmarked tracks, the Vitus Escarpe 29 CRS Mountain Bike brings reassuring control and trust that will inspire confidence no matter where your front wheel points. It loves kicking up dust on fast summer rides and when you reach the edge of that wet, rooted descent or techy rock garden, the sections that can make you doubt, it’s the voice that says, “You’ve got this!” You want a full-carbon trail bike that feels planted and finds the effortless flow that keeps you grinning for more, not gritting your teeth. You want a bike that brings traction and holds speed on the climbs, keeping your legs fresh for one more run. This is it.

Stable and Playful All Mountain Bike

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. Smoother is faster for longer.

Flip-Chip Adjustable Suspension Platform

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. It also features geometry and performance that 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.

This video demonstrates assembly from a SMALL BOX.

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.
