Show us your Vitus!

Out on my E-Escarpe yesterday. First ride with a 29 on the back. Plenty of clearance. BB height manageable, geometry still feels good. i’m sure it doesn’t make a massive difference from the 27+ but in these dry conditions it’s nice to have a slightly more predictable rear tyre that I’m familiar with.

that top tube Garmin mount position didn't work for for me with the larger Edge (530) as my knee could twist the Garmin unit in the quarter turn mount when track standing or tabling the bike

I used one of these when I had a garmin.

Is that chopwell?

 

[Frankenbetty]

This is how mine turned up yesterday
Surprisingly it was ok apart from a scuffed top cap because it was upside down in the delivery van..

 

[Zimmerframe]

Lucky there was a bike in there to give that box some structural integrity !

 

[Nichneven]

That is nuts. Really.

Is that chopwell?

Was indeed, first time there for a while due to lockdown etc. forgot where half the trails were

 

[Nichneven]

Amazed with this bike. Love how the suspension feels. The grip is nuts!

 

[Frankenbetty]

I do like those. Can’t beat em for the money imo. looks ace!

 

[Nichneven]

Yeah the price and ride feel.

 

[CH61S]

Got a spot of mud on it today

 

[Cisco]

Happy new bike day!

Can't find the battery tho'

 

[Jeffcw]

Finally hit some jumps today on the e-sommet. Felt spot on, cant really feel the weight at all.

 

[Jeffcw]

My mates VRS has come now, identical spec just not as bright on the paint job. Its nice in both options.

 

[Nichneven]

Went for a quick Hamsterly blast Monday night. Full battery done in 2 hours and 16 miles. Never used boost so much but was practically sprinting up the forest road climbs and straight back down the trails. I was knackered!

Are you sticking to the trails or going off piste?
I got sick of doing the same shit over and over.
Guisboro woods is a canny change, was there Monday.

I never really ventured too far off the red/black under leg power, as always there with other people. Part of buying the ebike this year was due to riding more on my own and so had planned to start looking for more trails, but never really got the chance. I checked out a few off-piste sections on this ride but not that many, I was feeling a bit rusty and tweaking bike set-up so didnt want to hit anything too risky. A lockdown of just riding tame trails and ive almost forgotten how to ride!

Not really, come down from Newcastle so 1hr drive each way. Mainly ride hamsterly as its a 'guaranteed' few hours ride on reasonable trails with some decent decents, it could get repetitive i guess if you ride it a lot but im not at that stage yet.

 

[Bobajobbob]

Straight out of the box and just shy of the first 100k.

 

[driftmonkey]

Nice toys in that garage

You can never have enough toys ? Nothing else has had a look in since the ebike arrived.
