The Nucleus has won MBR's under £500 hardtail of the year award for the last four years running and this new Nucleus 29 VR is fitted with large 29" wheels for faster, more efficient rolling performance, is constructed to excel on the trail and is component-equipped to seize that claim to fame once again.
Vitus offers this bike at a very easy to afford price point, however, the Nucleus has never been an ordinary entry-level mountain bike. It's kitted-out with a high-quality and super-reliable component spec aboard a robust and stylish construction. This new version features an increased standover height and aggressive geometry for even greater handling and more playful riding characteristics than ever before.
This ride features modern low, long and slack geometry with 100mm of SR Suntour travel at the front to smooth the trail and keep you in control. It's equipped with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes to keep momentum in check and a superb finishing kit from Vitus to complete the build. A Shimano 2x9 gear transmission blasts you up the steepest hills with ease and rockets back down the other side confidently. Plus, it includes an internal dropper post cable routing, so you can easily fit this beneficial upgrade in the future.
Rest assured that each bike is fully built, tested and tuned by Wiggle's team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure your bike arrives in perfect condition. Find out which size fits you by clicking the size chart tab.
