Boost Hub CompatibleKeeping pace with the new market standard, the Vitus Escarpe VRX 29″ Suspension Frame is compatible with “Boost” (12x148mm axle) hubs.

This pivot location also maximises active suspension when using the rear brake; similar to a floating brake design, without the added weight. åÊRearward Axle Path:åÊBecause of the main pivot location, the Escarpe has 55mm of travel with a reward axle path which all helps the rider to carry momentum over rough terrain and especially square edged hits. åÊLeverage Rate Design:åÊThe leverage rate is designed to have a falling rate to sag point then go mildly progressive. This helps the bike sit comfortably in the sag position with a stable platform. The lower shock mount moves forward with the suspension, this helps to keep a linear rate without falling off at full travel. This movement also reduces the shock angle change at full travel reducing side loads and improving the reliability of the shock BuyåÊVitus BikesåÊfrom Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
