This model is the flagship Escarpe 27 CRX from Vitus that's ready for you to hit your trail of choice. The 27 CRX comes with 140mm of frame travel, matched with buttery smooth 150mm Fox 36 Factory GRIP2 forks paired with a Fox Float DPS Factory rear shock to keep you planted when the trails get rough. Shimano's high performance 1x12 wide range XT drivetrain provides reliable shifting for all-day epics while the Shimano XT brakes provide ample stopping power.
Rolling on the high-performance DT Swiss M1700 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 Escarpe 27 CRX.
Vitus has engineered this bike with a redesigned carbon front triangle paired with an aluminium rear end. This trail-optimised frame with its revamped geometry and improved suspension kinematics ensure the Escarpe climbs efficiently on the way up and descends with playful confidence on the way back down and takes your riding to the next level.
Vitus 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 Escarpe CRX 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 27 CRX Mountain Bike is for you.
