Vitus Sentier 29 Mountain Bike - £949.99

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 inspires confidence when the riding becomes more technical and never fails to find that flow. This is how mountain biking should be - erase the fear and turn up the fun. It has all the qualities you need from a mountain bike at this level - controlled, versatile and predictable, yet also snappy and nimble, like a hardtail should be.

The Sentier is not just some cheeky upstart or pretender. Far from it. From head to toe, this bike boasts quality 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 any tricky sections, while the shorter stem keeps the handling precise through tight turns. From the 1x10 speed Deore drivetrain and the 130mm Rockshox suspension fork to the WTB wheels, this mountain bike is ready for full-on, fun-filled rides. The award-winning double-butted aluminium frame and reliable groupset 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.
