""It was my first 29er, and it fit perfectly from day one. The geometry was slack enough to feel confident on downhills, and yet the climbing was excellent with every pedal stroke. The only downside of this bike was the bearings; they only lasted a few months, but riding on the rainy North Shore can be harsh for most bike hardware. My Vitus was a 2022 CRX 29—definitely a good setup for a reasonable price. It's a shame they are gone, because if they were still around, I would buy from this brand again.""
