This £3,500 carbon Vitus Sommet 27 CRX has the brand’s top-level 160mm enduro chassis that weighs over 300g less than the alloy version.
Easy to rip from the get go
Less refined chassis than competitors

The Vitus Sommet 27 is a long travel enduro bike that has a budget price and big aspirations. The frame is a good platform for an all-mountain or race weapon but there are some questionable spec choices that mean this isn’t as good value as you might first think.

An incredibly engaging and fun ride for the price, the Vitus Sommet is stunning value.
Jun 2016 · Guy Kesteven
Occasional ragged-edge precision issues, but still a responsive, addictively fun bargain. Buy if you're happy to look beyond more glamorous brands for an excellent economy enduro bike
Blissfully well balanced, smooth yet supportive and efficient-pedalling suspension
Impressively light and well equipped for the money
Lower ride height is welcome but making it longer too would be even better
Small control compromises can add up at the ragged edge
