Any pics? Also I guess it depends on what riding you do? As 140mm travel are sufficient for mediocre trails and small jumps. But big rocks and jumps and drops etc etc require more in most cases :). Could be wrong but that seems to be the case . Looks like a descent spec. I'd probably say 'fair spec' for £3000 but what do I know haha

If it wasn't for the Vitus everyone would be calling it a bargain.

Its a bitsa bike in that its a generic Asrto frame branded up as a willier, with a random assortment of bits thrown on it - its actually the same frame that shimano used to launch the e8000 system with in 2017.

Nothing really wrong with that, and Astro make Mondraker and Haibike frames amongst others.

My main point would be the brakes would need instantly upgrading imo, as four pots are a necessity on an EMTB that will see any sort of decent action.

For the price the spec is good, and all upgradeable as and when.

I would be amazed if it really does weigh 20.5kg.
