    Description

    This 29 VRS model rolls from trail to trail aboard 29" wheels and features a Shimano Deore 1x10-Speed groupset with an 11-46T wide-range cassette and hydraulic disc brakes. Ideal for XC riding and trail centre all-day epics, this hardtail provides a versatile and dependable performance anywhere.

    Modern Geometry and a 1x10-Speed Groupset

    Don’t be fooled by the price point, the Nucleus isn’t your run of the mill entry-level mountain bike. It’s the foundation of the Vitus mountain bike range, with aggressive geometry designed to get you hooked. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. For 2021 all models now come with 1x groupsets.

    SR Suntour Suspension and a Shimano Deore 1-10 Drivetrain

    The low, long, and slack geometry is coupled to 120mm of Suntour Air suspension taking care of any rough terrain you'll encounter on the trails while the Tektro M290 brakes will give you ample stopping power. For 2021 the Nucleus has received a threaded bottom bracket for increased durability and a wide range groupset thanks to the Shimano 1x10 M5100 Deore groupset. A clutch activated rear mech, and a narrow-wide 1x chainring up front will keep you on the trails all day.

    Vitus and Nukeproof Finishing Kit Components

    Vitus' tried and tested combination of WTB tyres and rims offers superior performance and grip. Finished off with a combination of Vitus and Nukeproof components the Nucleus 29 VRS has stepped up to take your riding to the next level.

    Built, Tuned and Ready to Ride

    Rest assured that each bike is fully built and tuned by Wiggle's team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure your bike arrives in perfect condition.

    Sizing Information

    The size chart below will get you on the right size bike. Experienced riders may also wish to refer to the geometry chart for more detail.

    Getting the Right Fit

    At Wiggle we measure each of our bikes to build accurate size charts for our customers. Our qualified team of mechanics then individually check each order, against measurements supplied by you, to ensure the size chosen is correct. Another reason you can have complete confidence when buying a bike from Wiggle!

    If you are on the change over between sizes both options will fit. Racers and experienced riders would usually select a smaller size as this offers quicker handing. A larger bike offers more stability and is more suited to new and intermediate riders.

    Customer Reviews

    Vitus Nucleus 29 VRS Mountain Bike (2021) is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 6.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Jack1577 from Great features for the price. Good build quality Bike was easy to assemble and came with a useful tool kit (including touch-up paint). The gears shift smoothly, fork is plush after adjusting psi and rebound. The stock pedals are rubbish, but easily replaced. I've fitted a (150mm) Brand-X Ascend Dropper Seatpost, which was easy to do with the internal cable routing. On a large frame. I'm 6ft tall and the Large fits great.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by GlenV from A quality product that's a great buy. I wanted a good basic MTB for riding short trips and lending to friends/family. As the Vitus Nucleus had such good reviews I jumped in and bought when new stock came in. I'm glad I did. First off, the bike looks great. Unfussy, smooth lines, lovely cherry red colour. Mechanically its superb. The brakes are quality and do their job well. The gears are superb (I definitely recommend paying the extra for the 10 X gear range). The low gear was fine for the North Downs and the high gear allows you to put power on and speed past your mates. Finally, it feels excellent. I went out in ice and snow. The balance was very good. No surprises! The grip from the tyres was also very good, I soon had full confidence. The bike is also relatively light for aluminium alloy The 14Kg plus weight is no problem. Any negatives? I have short arms for my leg length (82) and at the right seat height (easily tuned with the quick release seat stem grip), I felt quite a stretch on my arms - so I'm buying some higher rise handlebars - and Wiggle sell a wide range of Nukeproof bars so no problem getting suitable. Also the supplied pedals are pointless in my view, they have raised mouldings rather than pins. A lower priced set of black flat pedals with appropriate pins gave me a rock solid grip on my walking boots (I said it was snow and ice!). So these are minor niggles and more to do with me than the bike. I'm very happy I have a quality bit of kit that I will do my best to look after. Lovely.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by TXCasey from Awesome bike on a budget! I love my Nucleus! I came from a '96 Cannondale f400 so I was due an upgrade and boy did I get one! It came with minor assembly needed and in great shape. The single thing I did not like was that it felt a little gritty when peddling right off the bat. I've added lubricant so plan on doing so right out of the box, I just didn't think to and it gave no instructions to do so. The bike itself is beautiful and rike a dream. The clutched derailleur makes shifting smooth and quick. I'm able to make climbs that I was walking before. I've already added my orange sealant to go tubeless and very thankful it was set up as tubeless ready, it made the process super easy. The forks are great for the price point, you can't find another bike stock with air forks for $900(after shipping). I wasn't thrilled with one color option but it's def grown on me. Overall, I highly recommend this bike and wiggle! Once finally in stock, I purchased and got an ETA of Jan 20, about 14 days. I actually received it, after carrier delay, Jan 14. Great bike, great bike shop

    Rated 5 out of 5 by NoobMountainbikesDesert from Good bike I am enjoying riding this bike quite a bit. Having higher tooth gears has been very nice for climbing. I give the bike itself a full 5 stars. I sized down, at 191cm I chose the Large frame and I'm glad I did. The issues I've had have been with the overall experience of buying online: delivery (DHL) and the tuning. My bike was lost for 11 days by DHL, they told me they lost it and then magically it started to move and arrived the next day. When I got my bike, I assembled and it seemed to be ok but when I took it out the chain kept dropping even on concrete (the limits were not set right), the brakes were rubbing, and my front tire goes flat (under 20 psi) in a day or 2. I consider myself fairly handy and I'm working on sorting it out but my last bike did not need to be babied this much.
