What do you guys make of this

http://vitusbikes.com/products/escarpe-vr-2016/
It's actually discount at crc for £15299

I don't think for the price I'm going to find a comparable bike to beat it? A lil heavy at 14.3kg maybe but what about that spec? Is the quality there? And I don't know anything about the fork.

Looking for an all round do it all bike

I'm coming from a 120mm cannondale Rush riding swinley,bedgebury and local trails in mid Kent.

At 14.3kg, its failed its mission as a do it all bike regardless of the component spec. Its going to feel like climbing towing an anchor - unless perhaps you are also heavy and have the power/strength to compensate.

Favourable reviews from a few magazines (I know not always a great indicator but hey).
I think it looks to be very good but haven't tried one. I asked a similar question on here a few months back and got some positive replies.
