Vitus Sentier 27 VR Mountain Bike

Vitus Sentier 27 VR Mountain Bike

The Sentier 27 VR is a versatile hardtail mountain bike (MTB) that is ideal for fast trail riding sessions with friends, epic day-long singletrack rides and laps of your local bike park. It features a durable and lightweight aluminium frame with low, long and slack geometry, giving you a superb balance of agility, control and all-day riding comfort. Engineered to offer excellent performance anywhere in the hills, this MTB is armed with 130mm-travel Marzocchi Bomber Z2 suspension forks and a Shimano Deore 1×11-Speed groupset that includes an 11-51 Tooth wide-range cassette and hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls upon Tubeless Ready WTB i30 TCS 2.0 rims wrapped in fast-rolling and high-grip Schwalbe Magic Mary and Hans Dampf tyres.

Agile, Fast and Versatile Hardtail Mountain Bike

The Vitus Sentier VR 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 1×11 speed Shimano Deore drivetrain and the 140mm Marzocchi Bomber Z2 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 its 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.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

• All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
• All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.

Please note that due to ongoing issues in the global bike supply chain, manufacturers may substitute certain component items due to availability. In this situation, they will be replaced with the same quality or better performing parts.
