Sara, thank you for your honest criticism. This is exactly why we watch these videos, to get an unbiased review before we spend our hard earned money 👍
I own the 2018 Vitus Sentier, which is pretty much identical to this one (frame). It's honestly the best bike I've ever owned. Shredding the local trails with little to no comprises
0:39 Watching that huck to flat reminds me why I went full suspension 👀 - otherwise, if you don’t plan on hucking to flat all day, this bike hopefully lets those that don’t want to or can’t afford to spend more on a bike get into the sport.
i ride street on the nucleus so hucking to flat is one of the main things i can do lol, maybe it has something to do with switching between bmx and mtb...
Thanks for the review. Good info for someone looking for a bike at this price. A suggestion, if I may, that may be helpful for people who are looking for new bike with a certain budget... On verdict, maybe you can add whether you think the bike is "overpriced", "spot on (you get what you paid for)", "good deal", "great bang for the buck" or something. Yes, it will be subjective, but it may be somewhat more measurable for most bike review viewers.
Maybe I missed it but you should clarify this is the Sentier VR 29 model. They also have a 27.5 version that has 140mm travel and a 66 deg HTA. Bought one for my nephew and one for my wife, they are more than pleased. Didn't see much mention of the drivetrain in this review either, but it shifts incredibly smooth considering the fact its a very entry level set. Shifts smoother and more reliably than my SRAM NX setup. It doesn't seem to be bothered by shifts under load as much as my NX.
Goes to show it really depends on the individual rider "your not gonna be sending it down super rough terrain" a beg to differ, people will, I do on trek xcaliber 100mm, no it's not great but it sure is scary fun. Good solid review 🙏
There's nothing like the look on someone's face when you can keep up on a ht. People used to see me riding big sky bike park on a 10 year old marin eldridge grade and think I was nuts (I was/ still am but that's besides the point). "How are you keeping up on that thing" was always pretty fun to hear
The 27 vr is the sentier to get tho. The geo is a lot better on it: 15mm shorter chainstay, 4mm longer reach, and 0.5 deg slacker. It probably is also a bit lighter because of the wheels if you are into that. But if you are, you should probably look elsewhere. It has quite a bit of drag going uphill, but its worth it for when you point it down. Something that they didnt mention, yet I found it as a nice surprise is the rear hub, it has 44poe, just like hope pro4s, and for such a value bike I think that really good. I definitely have a lot less of my pedal stroke wasted when punching it up rocks.
Well i own a vitus HT SENTEIR 29er and I can ride it on chunk really well and I climb almost anything so I really think it boils down to the rider and im 60 yrs old and I can keep up with some of the more expensive hardtail riders in the southwest chunk desert terrain area !!!
I bought one of these last year, 27.5" version. Coming from 90's 26ers it feels amazing downhill. Love the Bomber. Uphill it kinda sucks. Much prefer my old bikes uphill.
I have 2018 sentier frame 27.5 which I got from a on line store, pair it a 150 fork Ar30 rims,i9 hubs, drakes formula cura 4 with 180mm rotors and 2.6 continental front and 2.5 rear, gx derailleur 11 speed. Race face atlas crankset. and I have to say I love this bike
I guess I am spoiled from watching hardtail party but this review did not impress me. No mention of how comfortable the bike felt vs. other hardtails they tested. Sorry pinkbike but when it comes to hardtail reviews, you need to get Steve. He is the new sheriff on town
Pink bike doesn’t care about any bikes less than 5k they’re fancy pants fart sniffers. Spoiled by industry handouts completely separated from the reality that most of us live in.
Amazing bike people, thing flyes with the droper post of corese. I love this bike chain reaction cycles was great ordering from them. You need not upgrade a thing out the box. I went for the 29er👊👊😀😀😀
For anyone watching that is looking to buy middle of the road is not a bad thing In fact it might be better to get something middle of the road so you don’t have to compensate for anything
Very good bike the hello dave but there is a reel problem on it, it's that the frame accept max is 165mm rotor rear brake so 160, for an enduro hardtail, what a joke. If you speak fech you can check endhurobike channel they have already done a video about it.
I have a 2014 Sentier frame. Same exact problem. You'd have though they'd have learned. My frame is QR dropouts, so at least they have thru-axle now. I drilled the stops out and ran a housing cable the whole length. Zero problemo at all
Great video! About de break pads. Do metalic pads offert better performance on trail bikes? I always heard métal was more for going downhill as they have to heat... I keep métal pour bike parks et resin on trail. I do not swap my rotors when I go from resin to metal and vis versa.
resin pads are better for slower riders, perhaps commuters. Metallic pads or sintered pads are the best option for most mountain biking. hope this helps!
Resin pads suffer from brake fade when they heat up. Since they test in Canada, which has some decent grade slopes, they will have fading issues when testing. For people that ride on flat-ish trails, it won't be a problem, but in Canada, I'd say its a no-go. Interestingly, Some pro dh riders have been known to put one metallic pad and one resin pad in a single pad cradle in each caliper, to get the best of both worlds
Seems to me that wheel building & manufacturing has gotten to the point where they’re all good and aside from weight they’re not even mentioned. Way different than the early days of mtb where it was common to taco your rims on a hard ride.
Why if the budget range is this wide, not taken the stoic 4? It has 12 speed, a dropper..it makes it even more capable and is still affordable. I would choose that bike anyday instead of the vitus.
Been trying to hunt one of these down but impossible as we all know. I’m 5’10” with a slightly small wingspan vs height and I’m torn between a M and L frame. New rider. Any suggestions?
Same height and my 2017 with a reach of 240mm is perfect. 27.5 wheels. I'm guessing newer models have longer reach so maybe a medium is what I would get now
No it's not the same... if you look at the numbers on the geo charts they are different, and the Sentier has boost hub spacing 110/148 while the Nucleus is 100/135.
Yeah, obviously the hub-spacing is different but I'm just wondering if the Sentier is basically a Nucleus with a bigger fork and boost rear end.. I might have some "concerns" of the durability of my Nucleus
@@th_js oh I was confusing that with nuke proof bikes. Nucleus big difference is no thru axle. Probably matters more if doing alot of hard terrain vs just normal trails. I was comparing the two and bought Sentier 27 instead since it also comes with a better fork.

@@re7qi I got it from chain reaction cycles back in November for about $1600 USD but the price must've went up after I got it. It took me a few months to even buy because it was always sold out. You may want to go for the Vitus of it's that much cheaper. They used to be very close in price
I do admire Vitus. However...No metal versions of the Escarpe, for 2022(which is actually the 2021 models). And Vitus, like Trek, is getting greedy with the branding on the downtube/toptube. Charging a fortune for a bike, due to the brand name. Of course global inflation...does not help. For now, I'll stick with the Ragley AL29 & the GT Zaskar LT.
For a 6061 frame in 2021, thats pretty steep of a price when you can buy a Pass Quest frame thats essentially the same geo for under 400 bucks off Aliexpress.

It's too bad they didn't review the 27.5 version. I'm assuming it would have felt more aggressive than this bike.
