Vitus Sentier Review
The Vitus Sentier bikes certainly have a lot to give mountain bike riders, but it may be better geared for the beginner or the occasional rider. Of course, considering these are mostly budget options, they do certainly perform better than most in their class.
We tried them out on medium to harsh trails, and they held up well on most of them. These bikes has excellent travel, and the Shimano and SRAM componentry were impressive for the price tag. However, we did have issues with the forks. They lacked a certain stiffness for a mountain bike range.
Other than that, every model we tried handled well. These bikes are nimble and agile, and pick up some excellent speeds on medium terrain. Overall, these bikes can take a hit, so you can be sure they’ll hold up over time. Ideal for new riders.
+Pros:
- Fast and light overall
- Nimble and agile handling
- Quality SRAM and Shimano componentry
- Picks up speed easily on medium terrain
- Ideal for novice trail riders
-Cons:
- Not so great for the more serious rider
- Forks not stiff enough
