Vitus Escarpe 27 CR Mountain Bike 2021

Vitus Escarpe 27 CR Mountain Bike

The Escarpe 27 CR is a full suspension bike that's a capable companion anywhere on the mountainside. It's deal for all-mountain epics, long days in the saddle, fast enduro descents and rapid trail riding. Also, Vitus has engineered its frame with a carbon front triangle and alloy rear, giving a superb balance of strength and reliability at a low weight. Plus, it features suspension components from Marzocchi and RockShox while having a Shimano Deore 1x12-Speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes and a 27.5" wheel/tyre combo from WTB and Maxxis.

Improved Geometry and Suspension Performance

The all new Escarpe features a redesigned carbon front triangle paired with an aluminium rear end. With revamped geometry and improved suspension kinematics to ensure the Escarpe climbs efficiently on the way up and descends with playful confidence on the way back down, the Escarpe CR will take your riding to the next level.

Climbs Like a Trail Bike, Descents Like an Enduro Bike

Vitus has straightened the leverage curve and increased the progressivity to improve the small bump sensitivity and mid stroke support to keep you in control when the trails get rough. Along with improved geometry the new Escarpe also has improved seat post insertion which allows for a longer dropper post to be fitted as standard ensuring you get the most comfortable riding position on the way up and back down. Basically, the all new Escarpe is better in every way. If you want a confidence inspiring all mountain bike that can climb as well as a trail bike and descend like an enduro bike, then the Vitus Escarpe is for you.

Marzocchi Bomber Forks and RockShox Deluxe Rear Shock

Out of the box the Escarpe 27 CR is ready to hit your trail of choice. The 27 CR comes with 140mm of frame travel, matched with buttery smooth 150mm Marzocchi Bomber Z2 forks and a Rockshox Deluxe Select R rear shock to keep you planted when the terrain is bumpy, rocky or unpredictable. Shimano's 1x12 wide range Deore drivetrain provides reliable shifting for all day epics while the Shimano MT420/410 brakes provide ample stopping power in all-weather conditions.

WTB Tubeless Ready Rims and Maxxis Tyres

Rolling on WTB ST wheels and a Maxxis Assegai / Dissector tubeless ready tyre combo to provide the right balance of grip and speed, finished with Nukeproof components and a Brand-X Ascend dropper post, you’ll have the confidence take your trail riding to the next level with the Vitus Escarpe 27 CR Mountain Bike.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.
