This multi-award winning hardtail is capable, playful and confident over all terrain
The 2021 Vitus Sentier is ready for the aggressive hardtail trail riding we all love. All the parts have been selected to meet the demands of rougher XC, Trail and AM riding. Giving you the feel of total control and confidence, this bike can attack anything in your way. While fully capable to climb the mountain ahead, it comes alive when pointed down a trail. With a nimble and playful character, flow will always be on hand while bossing your way down the trail.
The Sentier 29 VR is equipped with 130mm travel Marzocchi Bomber Z2 with RAIL damper eating up any rough terrain you ride through while the Shimano MT410 brakes provide ample stopping power. The reliable Shimano 1x11 speed wide range Deore drivetrain gives you enough gears to explore on an all day epic at the trails.
Rolling on WTB ST wheels and a Schwalbe Magic Mary / Hans Dampf tubeless ready tire combo finished with Nukeproof and Vitus components and a Brand-X Ascend dropper post you’ll always have the confidence to push the Sentier 27 VR beyond your limit!
