Vitus Sommet 27 CRX Mountain Bike Frame (2021)

Vitus Sommet 27 CRX Mountain Bike Frame (2021) - £1,599.99

Enduro Optimised Geometry and Suspension

The all new Vitus Sommet is a 170mm big hitting enduro bike that features a redesigned carbon front triangle paired with an aluminium rear end. With revamped geometry and improved suspension kinematics, the Sommet is ready to tackle the roughest trails there are, from big mountain alpine descents to steep technical enduro trails.

 

Improved Suspension Leverage Curve and Sensitivity

We have straightened this bike's leverage curve and increased the progressivity to improve the small bump sensitivity and mid stroke support to keep you in control when the trails get rough. Along with improved geometry the new Sommet also has more seat post insertion which allows for a longer dropper post to be fitted. Basically, the Sommet is better in every way. If you want a confidence inspiring Enduro bike that will help guide you down the roughest trails then the Sommet is for you.
