Vitus Escarpe 29 Mountain Bike Frame – Green

Vitus Escarpe 29 CRX Mountain Bike Frame

The Escarpe 29 CRX is a high-end mountain bike (MTB) frame that is optimised for use with 29″ wheels and 150mm-travel suspension forks. Its construction consists of top-quality T800 carbon fibre front and rear triangles and it is equipped with a Fox Float DPS Factory Series Kashima coated rear shock. Ready to be the backbone of your stylish hardcore all mountain trail bike, this frame offers outstanding responsiveness, agility, strength and control at a low weight. It also features Vitus’ flip-chip adjustable suspension system that enables you to easily fine-tune its suspension performance to suit your riding style.

Agile, Efficient and Stable Full Suspension Trail Frame

At the core of the Vitus all-mountain and trail range is the Escarpe CRX Mountain Bike Frame. 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 Riding

Whether 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.
