Our big-hitting Vitus Dominer 297 downhill mountain bike now rolls on mixed wheels for more confidence and agility on the most punishing gravity-fueled rides.
Everything about the Dominer is purpose-built for aggressive downhill riding – and now that it’s available exclusively in a mixed wheel format, with a chunk-crushing 29” wheel in front and whip-friendly, maneuverable 27.5” in the rear, this rig combines the best of both wheel sizes. With 200mm of plush travel front and rear, the new Dominer 297 is designed to float over rocks and roots at warp speed.
The Dominer brings accessible performance for casual park riders and podium-chasing weekend racers alike. This is the same bike that Joe Smith piloted to a 2nd place at Redbull Hardline; it’s the bike Kyle Strait and Callum Morris will be riding all season at the world’s premier freeride and downhill tracks.
With a tough-as-nails aluminum frame that’s built to serve you faithfully for years to come, the latest version of the Dominer comes equipped with a build kit that puts an emphasis on reliability and trustworthy performance. RockShox handles the suspension duties – the dual-crown fork is a Boxxer Select equipped with Charger RC damper, while out back the Super Deluxe Coil shock provides a bottomless and smooth ride. Powerful SRAM Guide RE brakes keep in control when things get rowdy, with 200mm rotors front and rear. The SRAM GX DH 7-speed drivetrain provides quick, reliable shifts every time. When you need to put the power down, Nukeproof's Horizon V2 wheelset offers near-instant responsiveness with 102 points of engagement that purrs down the trail.
There’s no substitute for a big-travel, tough, reliable, capable, purpose-built downhill machine. For big weekends at the bike parks or when the gnarliest trails require the biggest tool in the shed, choose the Dominer 297.
