Expirience with the Vitus ESCARPE 290 AMP

Ludwig Döhl The 150 mm fork travel helps you master the on demanding single tracks. Here, the ESCARPE 290 AMP really plays to it´s strengths. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the All Mountain of Vitus, the 65 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. In the saddle of the on demanding trails your bum will have a pleasant ride – and your back too. There are All Mountain in the price under 8000 Euro that have more potential downhill. Athletes should nevertheless pay attention to this bike, because on the way to the summit, the Vitus Fully leaves the remaining All Mountains in the dust.
