Expirience with the Vitus Sentier 27 VRX

Ludwig Döhl When using it as in alpine terrain, the Sentier 27 VRX really shows its full potential. On the scale, the Vitus with 12,3 kg looks good. Most All Mountain in the price range until under 2000 Euro are heavier. The 425 mm short chainstays make for playful handling. When entering the saddle, the Sentier 27 VRX conveys a balanced seating position. A shout out to Vitus – we take our hats off, because a first-class price / performance ratio make the Vitus for in alpine terrain a benchmark in the price range under 2000 Euro.
