Expirience with the Vitus Escarpe 29 CR

Ludwig Döhl The 150 mm fork travel helps you master the on demanding trails. Here, the Vitus Escarpe 29 CR really plays to it´s strengths. With a 65 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. In the saddle of the in alpine terrain your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the Vitus is probably not the right bike for you. For 2339 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential.
