Expirience with the Vitus ESCARPE 275 CR

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a in alpine terrain, the ESCARPE 275 CR really comes into its own. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. In the price range of under 3000 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the Vitus Fully. But you should not forget, that the drivetrain is an important part of the complete bike. And right here, Vitus specificates better components than the competitors at a price of 2999 Euro .
