Vitus Escarpe 29 CRS Mountain Bike (2021)

The All-New Escarpe - Vitus has taken everything they loved about their Escarpe platform and made it better. Quick up the hills and even quicker going back down, it's a true confidence-inspiring all-mountain trail bike.

Optimised Geometry and Improved Suspension

The Escarpe 29 features a redesigned carbon front triangle paired with an aluminium rear end. With revamped geometry and improved suspension kinematics to ensure the Escarpe climbs efficiently on the way up and descends with playful confidence on the way back down, it will take your riding to the next level.

Confidence-inspiring All-Mountain Bike

Vitus has straightened the leverage curve and increased the progressivity to improve the small bump sensitivity and mid-stroke support to keep you in control when the trails get rough. Along with improved geometry, the new Escarpe also has improved seat post insertion which allows for a longer dropper post to be fitted as standard ensuring you get the most comfortable riding position on the way up and back down. Basically, the Vitus Escarpe is better in every way. If you want a confidence-inspiring all-mountain bike that can climb as well as a trail bike and descend like an enduro bike, then the Escarpe is for you.

RockShox Pike Forks and Deluxe Select+ Rear Shock

Out of the box, the Escarpe 29 CRS is ready to hit your trail of choice. It comes with 140mm of frame travel, matched with buttery smooth 150mm RockShox Pike forks and a RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock to keep you planted when the trails get rough. Shimano's 1x12 wide range SLX drivetrain provides reliable shifting for all-day epics while the Shimano SLX brakes provide ample stopping power.

DT Swiss M1900 Wheels and Maxxis Tubeless Ready Tyres

Rolling on the high-performance DT Swiss M1900 wheels and a Maxxis Assegai / Dissector tubeless-ready tyre combo to provide the right balance of grip and speed. Finished with Nukeproof components and a Brand-X Ascend dropper post, you’ll have the confidence to take your trail riding to the next level with the Vitus Escarpe 29 CRS Mountain Bike.
