Jewbacca Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I ride 140mm Trance and love it but having looked an Chainreaction for something else saw these Vitus bikes.... not bad.. eventhough you would pay duties but still not bad. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/vitus-escarpe-mountain-bike-nx-1x11-2019/rp-prod179077 https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/vitus-sommet-mountain-bike-nx-1x11-2019/rp-prod179057 I ride a Vitus VRX 29er. It is really really awesome. Massive clearance for 29 x 2.6 tires (I have a Maxxis Aggressor 2.5 and it looks like I could fit a 2.8 in!) It seems to pedal pretty well, which surprised me. But I'm waiting for 'new bike syndrome' to wear off before I make too many promises. It built up pretty light for a 150/140 29er I am happy to let you swing a leg over and go for a spin if you're about for Argust weekend. I still need to get to Jonkers for an all day festival of Flow, rock and air time....

Eddy Gordo Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Shout which weekend suits you!Sundays are good, if you prepared to lug a fat slow ass around.
Bos Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) At first these bikes looked hideous, but its starting to grow on me. Great riding, this young lady rips! Nice trails though https://www.vitalmtb.com/v/36408?width=780&height=440' Edited March 5, 2019 by Bos Hairy 1

Pieter1 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Looks a bit like a pregnant dog dunnit Ja, I really can’t like it. Even the orange or any bike without a normal rear triangle for that matter.

Nice trails though https://www.vitalmtb.com/v/36408?width=780&height=440' I'd definitely like to give it a try. BikeRadar did a review of the Wolf Ridge, where they noted that the carbon links flex horribly, causing the shock to bind during cycles. Wonder if that is still an issue with this bike. https://youtu.be/yxJWjt3RTlM

Sure as hell the logos on the tyres aren't matching the wheel decals and then the under carriage. Preggo pooch realm for sure!

Headshot Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I would like to see that Marin in the flesh and swing a leg over it. If it rode really well I could be persuaded but I'd still dread seeing the race pics at enduros. Bos and Hairy 2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall initial tests suggesting a 180mm bike that pedals like a trailbike.. Whats not to like
