The 2021 Vitus Escarpe is a ripper of a 29er trail bike. It pedals very well and descends like a sprightly enduro bike, plus all versions have a carbon front triangles matched with cool colours for sleek looks. This base model doesn’t have the parts longevity we’d like to see, but it’s a great starting place for a bike upgrade journey.

The Shimano powered electric gravel bike gets chunky 29er tyres and a 630Wh battery matched to the E7000 STEPS motor - e-bikepacking trip anyone?
