Alan Muldoon

Vitus's first XC full-suspension race bike was released in 2021 and flew under the radar for most riders, including us. But with a top spec and thrashable handling, it deserves a spot on the front row of the grid.

Pros
  1. Rapid up and down. Generous sizing. Great value.
Cons
  1. One bottle mount. Not the lightest race bike. No dropper post.
