Expirience with the Vitus Sentier 27 VRS

Ludwig Döhl The on demanding single tracks of Vitus is made for on demanding single tracks use. A low weight means more rideability on different terrain. If the manufacturer's indication is right, the 13,1 kg of the All Mountain von Vitus counts towards the lighter All Mountain that you get for under under 2000 Euro. 425 mm short chainstays and a moderate reach make the handling pleasantly playful. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the All Mountain von Vitus suite the taste of most bikers. Considering that in the range under 2000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice!
