NUCLEUS VRS – WELCOME TO PROPER MOUNTAIN BIKING
The Nucleus range is the entry-level mountain bike range that punches well above its price-point. Designed for progression, the Nucleus will help you learn the basics or hone and master your trail skills. Winning MBR’s “£500 Hardtail of the Year” award only encouraged us to make the Nucleus better than ever.
Updated Alloy Frame
Because there’s always room for improvement, we returned to the drawing board and came back with a brand-new alloy frame, which follows the DNA and core characteristics of the Vitus Sentier. Refined with our trail-oriented geometry, the Nucleus is now longer, lower and slacker than before. With revised geometry, improved stand-over clearance, ISCG tabs and internal dropper post cable routing, this entry-level aluminium MTB is like no other: It’s a bike that owes a lot to its big sibling, but more than capable of finding its own path.
