Expirience with the Vitus NUCLEUS 29 VR

Ludwig Döhl If you like a lively bike, you should take the Vitus Downcountry-Bike into consideration. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Vitus. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers.
