Vitus Sentier 27 VRS Mountain Bike

The Sentier 27 VRS is an award-winning hardtail mountain bike (MTB) that is strong, lightweight and it looks great. Vitus has equipped it with 140mm-travel Fox 34 Float Rhythm suspension forks that soak-up bumps and knocks from the terrain and offers exceptional traction in all riding conditions. It is also armed with a Shimano Deore 1×12-Speed groupset, a 10-51 Tooth wide-range cassette and Shimano MT520 hydraulic disc brakes. And it rolls upon WTB i30 TCS 2.0 Tubeless Ready wheels wrapped in Schwalbe SnakeSkin Addix Compound tyres.

Fast, Agile and Stylish Hardtail Mountain Bike

The Vitus Sentier VRS mountain bike has quickly established itself as a classic hardtail, having amassed something of a cult following thanks to its confident and playful character. But it’s not just the people’s champion, the Sentier is a multi-award winner that continues to prove itself out there on tough trails and All Mountain adventures. A hardtail that won’t shy away from technical descents and aggressive riding, it never fails to find that flow and excite. Snappy, obedient and nimble, like a hardtail should be, yet also hungry to go all-in where things get steep and challenging. Where other hardtails get weak at the knees.

Let’s be clear. The Sentier is not all cheeky upstart and bluster. Far from it. From head to toe, this bike is dressed to impress to deliver the finest trail riding experience. The longer, slacker geometry gives it the control and stability to cruise the tricky sections, while the shorter stem keeps the handling precise should you need to whip it through the turns. From the dropper post to the 1×12 speed Deore drivetrain and the 130mm Fox Float fork, this mountain bike casually exudes performance. The double-butted aluminium frame and quality components are ready to go straight from the box, but as you get to know your Sentier, as you become addicted to its personality, so this becomes the perfect chassis to put your own stamp on. To personalise and customise your dream hardtail setup.

For full-day sessions with mates. For cruising the climbs and railing the descents. For balance and poise with no loss of entertainment. For keeping the fun-factor turned right up. Any time on-board the Sentier is playtime.

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.
