Vitus Bikes Nucleus 275 VR Hardtail Bike 2017

Vitus Bikes Nucleus 275 VR Hardtail Bike

Following on from the success of last year's bike which won the accolade of "Hard Tail Of The Year" from MBR, the Nucleus 275 VR continues to get better and better. Building upon the successful foundation of the same great frame and components package; such style and performance at this price-point is rare, but that's what you get with Vitus' Nucleus 275 VR Hardtail Bike.
Lightweight 6061-T6 Alloy Frame

This lightweight 6061-T6 alloy frame delivers a bombproof chassis for trail centre assaults. Thinking ahead, Vitus has manfuactured this hardtail with great upgrade potential, so you can fit a chain guide thanks to the ISCG tabs whenever the time is right to upgrade your rig.

Aggressive Trail Geometry and Quality Components

The aggressive trail geometry has been designed around 27.5" (650b) wheels and a fork with 120mm travel, a short headtube and low bottom bracket provide a low centre of gravity and deliver improved handling whilst the larger wheel size lets you cruise over loose rocks and roots with ease. Vitus' Nucleus 275 VRS Hardtail Bike features a Suntour XCR suspension fork, Shimano Altus shifters/derailleurs and Tektro hydraulic disc brake for consistent trail performance.
