Vitus Rapide 29 VR Mountain BikeStepping things up a level from the standard model, the Rapide VR brings you cross country (XC) race-ready performance at an affordable price point. With a tough, yet lightweight aluminium frame at its core, it puts you in the ideal riding position for control on the toughest trails. This is also backed up by the bump-swallowing travel of the RockShox SID SL Rush RL forks. Plus, to get you quickly up to speed and back down in an instant, there’s also a Shimano Deore 1x11 speed drivetrain and Deore hydraulic disc brakes.Benefitting from the proven geometry of its carbon sibling, the Vitus Rapide 29 VR Mountain Bike is an assured aluminium hardtail that's well equipped for fun on the trails or competing in cross-country races.Ticking all the right boxes, this bike is light, nimble and, above all, fun. Superlatives aside, the Rapide 29 VR is, simply, an excellent cross-country mountain bike. Refined in looks and performance, it's the perfect platform for building your confidence in the XC and marathon race scene.A single front chainring, internal cable routing and quality 11-Speed Shimano Deore groupset offer plenty of gear range whilst keeping the maintenance low - something you will be thankful for once the filthier winter months draw in and the trails get ugly. A 100mm air-sprung RockShox SID SL Rush RL suspension fork takes the edge off the bumps to keep your momentum and speed up.Sure, you can take the Rapide out for a good thrashing on the trails and squeeze every ounce of performance from your legs in a race, or you can mellow-back and let the easy-rolling 29er cruise along without stress. Such is the joy of a great hardtail - the Rapide is no one-trick pony.Please Note: Due to volatility in the bicycle supply chain we may slightly alter the specification of the component parts supplied with this bicycle. Where this happens we have listed the alternate product in the specification table and have ensured that this is of either equivalent or superior specification to the stock component.Key Features: Fast, responsive and fun handling that's super efficient on the climbs RockShox SID SL Rush RL, 29”, 100mm travel with 44mm offset Shimano Deore 1x11 Speed drivetrain Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes Tubeless ready WTB ST i25 rims with tape already applied Fast-rolling Schwalbe Racing Ray & Racing Ralph tyres Features: Frame: Rapide 6061-T6 Aluminium, Post disc brake mounts, BSA threaded BB, Boost hub spacing - 148x12mm thru axle Fork: RockShox SID SL Rush RL, 29”, 100mm travel with 44mm offset Headset: Acros AiX-322 R3, IS41.8mm/28.6mm upper & ZS52mm/40mm lower Handlebar: Vitus 6061 Alloy, 5mm rise, 9° back sweep, S: 720mm wide, M/ L/XL: 740mm wide Stem: Vitus 6061 Alloy, Reach - S: 70mm, M:80mm, L:90mm, XL: 100mm, 31.8mm Handlebar Clamp Diameter, -7° Rise Grip(Tape): Vitus lock on Front Rim: WTB ST i25 TCS 2.0, 29” 32h tubeless tape fitted Rear Rim: WTB ST i25 TCS 2.0, 29” 32h tubeless tape fitted Front Hub: Vitus KT DHF112, 32H, 6-bolt disc fitment, 110x15mm Rear Hub: Vitus KT H5ER-SH, 32H, 6-bolt disc fitment, 148x12mm Front Tyre: Schwalbe Racing Ray EVO, Snakeskin, TLE, Addix speedgrip, 29” x 2.25” Rear Tyre: Schwalbe Racing Ralph EVO, Snakeskin, TLE Addix speed, 29” x 2.25” Chain: KMC X11, 11-Speed, 116 Links Crankset: Shimano Deore, 30T Narrow Wide chainring, S: 170mm Crank Length M/L/XL: 175mm crank length Bottom Bracket: Shimano BB52, BSA threaded Front Brake Set: Shimano Deore M6100 or SRAM DB8 - Post Mount, Shimano: Two Piston Calipers, SRAM: Four Piston Calipers Rear Brake Set: Shimano Deore M6100 or SRAM DB8 - Post Mount, Shimano: Two Piston Calipers, SRAM: Four Piston Calipers Brake Rotors: Shimano RT56 or SRAM CenterLine - 180mm Front, 160mm Rear, 6 Bolt Hub Fitment Rear Derailleur: Shimano Deore, 11-Speed, Shadow Plus, long cage Rear Shifter: Shimano Deore, 11-Speed, Rapidfire Plus Cassette: Shimano Deore, 11-Speed, 11-51T range Saddle: Vitus, black, Steel rails Seat Post: Vitus 6061 Alloy, 31.6mm Diameter x 400mm Long Seat Screw: Vitus bolt, 34.9mm Weight: Medium: 11.1kg (tubeless setup)Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
