There are a ton of parallels between the Sentier 29 and the Nucleus 29 VR in the sub-£700 category. Both are the entry-level models in their respective range and both are offered in two different wheel sizes, where the 27.5in bikes come in four frame sizes (from S-XL) and the 29ers in three (M-XL).
