Bringing forward all that was loved from the previous Escarpe platforms, this latest version has undergone the most comprehensive development yet to deliver a ride experience that’s more controlled, efficient, predictable and stable, whatever the terrain.Climb ahead? No problem. Technical descent inbound? You’ve got this. This performance full-carbon frameset is the perfect starting point to build your dream trail and all-mountain bike. To ride faster, to discover that perfect line, to flow effortlessly where before you tiptoed, your bike and body need to speak the same language. Thankfully the Escarpe knows exactly how to read you and the trail.For Trail and All Mountain RidingWhether braking hard, pushing more power or negotiating a twisty descent, your centre of gravity is rarely constant, so key to the whole system is efficiency. To deal with the dynamic nature of trail riding, the Escarpe stays predictable and consistent so that you can stay loose. No white knuckles here. The suspension kinematics have been enhanced compared to the previous platform, further countering the effects of pedal-bob and reducing the harshness of small bumps and trail vibrations that drain your energy and kill speed. Smoother is faster for longer.With an adjustable flip-chip, that can raise the bottom bracket by 6mm and increase the head angle, you can also customise the setup to best suit how and where you ride. Additionally, geometry and performance are optimised throughout the size range, so whether you are S or XL, there’s no compromise on how this bike feels.Key Features: Full T800 frame sheds weight for a truly responsive ride 27.5" platform for maximum agility Adjustable flip chip to fine tune handling and your preferred feel Ultra-Smooth Fox Float DPS Factory Series shock Robust rubber downtube, seat stay and chainstay protection Durable clear protection film applied to high wear areasFeatures: Frame: Escarpe full T8000 carbon front and rear triangles, Internal cable routing, post disc brake mounts, BSA threaded BB, Boost hub spacing - 148mm x 12mm thru axle Rear Shock: Fox Float DPS Factory Series, Kashima coating, EVOL, 3 position lever, 205mm x 60mm, trunnion Headset: Acros AZX-212-CO R5, ZS44/28.6 upper and ZS56/28.6 lower to suit 1-1/8" upper tapered to 1.5" lower headtube Seat Screw: Vitus, 34.9mm Diameter Wheel Size: 27.5" Weight: Medium: 3.1kg Suspension Travel: 150mm Front, 140mm Rear Intended Use: Trail / All MountainBuy Vitus Frames & Forks from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
