Vitus Sentier Mountain Bike 2026

Vitus Sentier Mountain Bike 2026 - £1,099.00

The Vitus Sentier mountain bike has quickly established itself as a classic hardtail, having amassed something of a cult following thanks to its confident and playful character. But it’s not just the people’s champion.

The Sentier is a multi-award winner that continues to prove itself out there on rough trails and exciting adventures. A hardtail that won’t shy away from technical descents and aggressive riding, it never fails to find that flow and excite. Snappy, obedient and nimble, like a hardtail should be, yet also hungry to go all-in where things get steep and challenging. Where other hardtails get weak at the knees.

Let’s be clear. The Sentier is not just some cheeky upstart or pretender. Far from it. From head to toe, this bike boasts reliable components to keep maintenance low and deliver the finest trail riding experience. The real deal. The longer, slacker geometry gives you the control and stability to cruise the tricky sections, while the shorter stem keeps the handling precise through tight turns. From the dropper post to the 1x11 speed Cues drivetrain and the 130mm Rockshox Judy fork, this mountain bike is ready for full-on, fun-filled sessions. The double-butted aluminium frame and quality components are ready to go straight from the box, but as you get to know your Sentier, as you become addicted to it’s personality, so this becomes the perfect chassis to put your own stamp on. To personalise and customise your hardtail setup.

For full-day sessions with mates. For cruising the climbs and loving the descents. For balance and poise with no loss of entertainment. For keeping the fun-factor turned right up. Any time on-board the Sentier is playtime.
