Expirience with the Vitus NUCLEUS 29 VR

Vitus NUCLEUS 29 VR Review If you buy the Downcountry-Bike of Vitus, you will really feel suitably prepared for on long tours in light terrain. Because that´s exactly what it was developed for. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the NUCLEUS 29 VR. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. When it comes to the seating position, Vitus chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. A shout out to Vitus – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the NUCLEUS 29 VR for on long tours in light terrain a benchmark in the price range under 800 Euro.
