Vitus mountain bikes

Historically one of the strongest value-per-dollar options anywhere, with spec sheets that regularly embarrassed bikes costing half again as much. Availability has been unpredictable since its parent retailer collapsed, so confirm stock before planning around one.

How this page works

Prices are US MSRP from a 2026 snapshot of the database that powers our quiz, maintained by hand. The takes on this page are mine, sharpened by the riders I trust. Vitus pays nothing to appear here and cannot pay to rank higher - here is how we make money. Confirm current pricing on the brand's own site before you buy, and see every bike we rank for the full database.
