Vitus Sommet 297 AMP Mountain Bike

Vitus Sommet 297 AMP Mountain Bike - £5,499.99

You asked and we listened. The big-hitting Vitus Sommet Mountain Bike just got bigger, bolder and more exciting with this latest AMP model. It’s the same familiar rush of the Sommet with the fun dialled-up so you can defy the rules and take your riding to a new dimension. Because total commitment and focus require the best.

When the trees are passing you in a blur and the beams of light and colour transport you to a new place. Is this what warp speed feels like? Float from takeoff to landing and rip down descents, from bike park to big mountain and ragged off-piste. The rush as you roll out at the bottom of the trail and chase one last uplift. The rush that pushes you to explore your limits without overstepping the mark. This is for the full-face thrillseekers and the diehards. This is why you do it.

The Sommet 297 AMP has been developed to run a manual-loving mullet wheel setup. A 27.5” rear wheel gives you more clearance to hang off the back on steep ground or drops, while a stable 29” wheel at the front eats up rocky terrain and keeps momentum high. You’re getting the versatility of both wheel sizes in one bike. Keeping the shifting on-point is SRAM’s X0 Eagle T-Type AXS wireless electronic 12-speed drivetrain, paired with powerful SRAM Code RSC disc brakes that should put an end to those cold-sweat moments when you’re coming in just a little too hot. With volume added to the carbon front triangle, stability is rock solid without compromising agility. It’s not a bike for taking just any line, it’s a bike for taking the best line. A bike that tracks so accurately it rewards you with time. Time to line up the next obstacle and pick your route as the trail unfolds in front of you.

The Sommet is a bike that you sit within, not perch on top. Eagerly shred the refined berms and manicured features of a trail centre, but take a step into the wild and that’s where this bike really comes alive, revelling in the unpredictability of naturally technical ground. Whether threading the needle through Enduro tape or dropping in on your favourite descent, speed comes easily to the Sommet AMP. It thrives in the chaos of turbulent trails. Bringing calm where all around there is frenzy.
