Expirience with the Vitus NUCLEUS 29 VRS

Ludwig Döhl Aabove all, the NUCLEUS 29 VRS just feels great. 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. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the NUCLEUS 29 VRS, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range tours with lots of high meters, the Vitus Hardtail is one of the best models in the tours with lots of high meters category.
