Stepping things up a level from the VR model with a Shimano Deore drivetrain that gives you a gear for every riding situation, the Nucleus 27 VRS is a hardtail mountain bike (MTB) that's primed to help you dominate your local trails. This bundle ups the ante even more adding a Brand-X Ascend Dropper Post (fully fitted) & Nukeproof Neutron EVO Pedals for that added confidence to take on even more challenging terrain.
The Vitus Nucleus is the mountain bike you never forget. The one that got you hooked. It’s everything a mountain bike should be - comfortable, reliable and predictable. But above all, it’s fun. The Nucleus is versatile enough to ride anywhere, but you’ll have the best time riding proper trails.
It feels just like a mountain bike should, a bike that inspires confidence when riding off-road, over rough ground and when tackling trail obstacles. This is a real mountain bike and a proven performer, but don’t just take our word for it, the Nucleus is a multi award-winner that has been voted £500 Hardtail of the Year four times in a row by MBR Magazine.
Riding your first mountain bike requires full trust in the equipment. As the trail twists and turns, rises and falls, you need to feel in complete control. The tried and tested geometry of the Nucleus has reassuring stability and agility that keeps your body relaxed and your smile wide. To match, the bike arrives equipped with high-quality, durable components.
The components include Clarks M2 hydraulic disc brakes that are responsive no matter the conditions, a terrain-smoothing SR Suntour XCR32 Boost Air air-sprung suspension fork and the wide range Shimano Deore drivetrain to ensure the gear shifting is fast and light. With an award-winning aluminium frame at its core, this bundle raises the stakes adding a Brand-X Ascend Dropper Seat Post (fully fitted) for on-the-fly saddle height adjustments, helping you always find the right position on the bike and grippy Nukeproof Neutron EVO Pedals that'll keep your feet firmly planted in place. Key upgrades that'll help grow your confidence on the bike and keep your mountain biking skills rolling forward.
Your first mountain bike should arm you with everything required to enjoy this sport. To set you on your way to unlocking the excitement of riding trails. The Nucleus is not off-the-shelf, it’s tailored specifically for the needs of a new mountain biker.

sorted byIs an extra £100 worth it for the VRS?
I paid £599.99 for the 29 VRS a couple of months ago for my partner and it's great for the money. This really is a bargain given you get a dropper with it which is pretty much everyone's first upgrade anyway.
The only thing with this one is that it's for the 27.5 inch wheel version which wouldn't be my preference but the 27.5 vs 29 debate has been going on since the dawn of time.
But Top cash back is 2% and Blue light gives 5% off. So took mine down to £569.99 and then £558.61 after cash back. Seemed very reasonable, so I took it.
If anyone knows a decent £500 ish bike for the Mrs, that's not from any of the below places, please let me know. I will slap hers on C2W instead. She's fairly tall 5ft10, so wouldn't suit some bikes aimed at females. Doesn't need full suspension, it wouldn't be great at that price range anyway.
Means the New total for TCB and BLC discount will be £541.49. Hope this helps someone
I had a 2021 Nucleus VR 29 but I found the 29" a wheel a bit cumbersome so the 27" may be better.

There are more rear derailleur options for M5100 and M4100 that are best broken down by the individual models.
The RD-M4120-SGS and RD-M5120-SGS rear derailleurs are compatible with both 11- and 10-speed cassettes.
The cable pull ratio between 11- and 10-speed Shimano mountain bike groupsets is very similar, meaning that, according to Shimano either of these derailleurs will “work perfectly as an upgrade option for existing shifters on 10- and 11-speed bikes”.

Also see Halfords have a deal on the Voodoo Bizango, how does that compare to this one.
Personally I’d go for this over the Bizango as it’s very good value for the money and includes a dropper post and decent set of pedals. The Bizango has a slightly better driver train and brakes by the sounds of it but not by much so the money you save plus the inclusion of a dropper make this one a winner in my book.
It's an older 26" but with a Rock Shox fork, Shimano hydraulics and 1x10 zee setup. Hopefully fetch a couple of hundred quid second hand?
