Expirience with the Vitus RAPIDE 29 CRS

Ludwig Döhl You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the Vitus RAPIDE 29 CRS on long tours. Thanks to a moderate 68,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the RAPIDE 29 CRS. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the Vitus Racebike scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires.
