The Vitus Nucleus is the 4x winner of MBR magazine £500 Hardtail of the Year award. This 27 VRS model is agile and fast aboard 27.5" wheels and features a Shimano Deore 1x10-Speed groupset with an 11-46T wide-range cassette and hydraulic disc brakes. Ideal for XC riding and trail centre all-day epics, this hardtail provides a versatile and dependable performance anywhere.

Modern Geometry and a 1x10-Speed Groupset

Don’t be fooled by the price point, the Nucleus isn’t your run of the mill entry-level mountain bike. It’s the foundation of the Vitus mountain bike range, with aggressive geometry designed to get you hooked. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. For 2021 all models now come with 1x groupsets.

SR Suntour Suspension and a Shimano Deore 1-10 Drivetrain

The low, long, and slack geometry is coupled to 120mm of Suntour Air suspension taking care of any rough terrain you'll encounter on the trails while the Tektro M290 brakes will give you ample stopping power. For 2021 the Nucleus has received a threaded bottom bracket for increased durability and a wide range groupset thanks to the Shimano 1x10 M5100 Deore groupset. A clutch activated rear mech, and a narrow wide 1x chainring up front will keep you on the trails all day.

Vitus and Nukeproof Finishing Kit Components

Vitus' tried and tested combination of WTB tyres and rims offers superior performance and grip. Finished off with a combination of Vitus and Nukeproof components the Nucleus 27 VRS has stepped up to take your riding to the next level.

Built, Tuned and Ready to Ride

Rest assured that each bike is fully built and tuned by Wiggle's team of qualified bike mechanics to ensure your bike arrives in perfect condition.

About the Vitus brand

First emerging as a frame builder in 1970s France, Vitus Bikes played a pivotal role in pioneering the design and manufacture of lugged and bonded aluminium frames, the most iconic being the 979, groundbreaking at the time and still prized among collectors today. In 1982 we engineered and developed the 979 Carbone, one of the very first frames to take carbon fibre technology from the aerospace industry and apply it to bikes. Their tradition of innovation continued throughout subsequent decades with frames which included the 1991 ZXI monocoque carbon frame, the spirit of which lives on in their latest generation of monocoque road bikes. Without exception, each of the bikes – from their singlespeed commuter to the high-end carbon road model – won plaudits for their ride quality, build and great value. The reviews confirmed what they knew all along, and they intend to improve on these already test-winning models as Vitus push forward with the development of this great brand of bikes. “Credit has to be due to a brand that has come back from the ashes and rather than milk the prestige of the old days, has set its sights on the biggest players on the scene.” CYCLIST magazine. Vitus bikes have been tested in many of the top cycling titles and websites across all disciplines. Their bikes have won group tests across Europe and are regarded as some of the best on the market.

Sizing Information

The size chart below will get you on the right size bike. Experienced riders may also wish to refer to the geometry chart for more detail.

Getting the Right Fit

At Wiggle we measure each of our bikes to build accurate size charts for our customers. Our qualified team of mechanics then individually check each order, against measurements supplied by you, to ensure the size chosen is correct. Another reason you can have complete confidence when buying a bike from Wiggle!

If you are on the change over between sizes both options will fit. Racers and experienced riders would usually select a smaller size as this offers quicker handing. A larger bike offers more stability and is more suited to new and intermediate riders.

Vitus Nucleus 27 VRS Mountain Bike (2021) is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dom91 from Great looking bike in size m and colour is nice comfortable offroad
Date published: 2021-03-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bigusredus13 from Awesome Got rid of my trusty old Marin and after reading the rave reviews in the various MTB magazines went for one of these. Just got back from my first outing. My lovely shiny machine is filthy, but it cruised all the way. I was concerned about the small number of gears that seem to be all the rage. However, the range is fine and even got up to 32mph on the road. Great bike , punches well above its price. Well worth a punt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SudburySam70 from Better than expected After the glowing youtube reviews, I've been waiting for this bike to become available. I have nothing negative to say about the bike or Wiggle. I ordered from Wiggle after seeing several complaints about other vendors. It arrived much earlier than expected, 6 days after my order. The bike is a dark red, not like the pictures. It is OK. My son said it was sick. But it would be nice to have the option of Grey or Blue like with the non VRS model. The paint was pristine except for a small chip near the rear axel. Others complained of scratched paint. Not here. The bike was packed with a ton of bubble wrap. I did not see any touch up paint that others mention in reviews. The bike tool and pedal wrench are as good as the ones I already had. Everything was over-inflated, including the forks. But be warned, with an air fork, you likely want to invest in a pump for them since a small touch of the valve can easily under pressurize them (and it's likely they will need some air let out when you get them) Assembly was much easier than expected. I hate adjusting derailleurs. But to my surprise, this bike was already dialed in. Basically just put the handlebars on the stem, put on the pedals the seat and front tire and you are done. it will take more time to remove the bubble wrap than it will to put it together. The seat was greased so it looks like someone had tried everything out. Nothing needed adjusted except the fork had too much pressure for my weight. The bike is super solid out of the box. I ordered a medium frame and I'd say that compared to my medium Specialized Epic, the top tube is shorter (more modern) and the min seat height it much higher. If you are around 5'6" or less, you may need to cut the seat post since as others said it doesn't slide down very far (or order the small frame). I can't comment on the ride yet as it's only had a break-in ride. The pedals are better than some other stock pedals but they have no grip. Tires are beefy. The 10x is smooth. The brakes are not bedded yet, so I can't say much about them. Basically this is what you should expect for the price. I've not found a strong 'con' to the bike. The lack of internal cable routing for the brakes and shifter is disappointing for a $1k bike since many of it's competitors have that. In summary, a solid bike. I'm considering buying another one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dudders70 from "Tip Top" Just taken delivery of my Vitus Nucleus 27 VRS 2021 in burnt red colour. Obviously not ridden in anger yet but initial impressions are all positive. Bike came on time and very well packaged, no scratches/missing bits. Wiggle and Parcel Force kept me updated at every stage. Got for what I consider a bargain price at £649 (12 months interest free payment plan/£50 per month with £65 deposit). Living in Somerset I wanted something that could handle the Quantocks and Exmoor without breaking the bank and I think this bike will tick the right boxes. Can't wait to get out there post lockdown. Thank you Wiggle..!

Are Pedals included?

Asked by: GeorgeKal
Most bikes come with basic plastic pedals included for test riding purposes, however it is not guaranteed they will be included.

Sizing

Hi, I'd like to order this for my 13 year old daughter who is 166 cm tall and inside leg of 80cm. She's right between a small and a medium - which do you think would be best please? Is the top tube very long relatively? Would a small be better, although for the leg length a medium might be better? Many thanks Jo
Asked by: JoDun
I would go medium as I would presume your daughter is still growing..
