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

Combine the reasonably low weight with fast-rolling WTB rear rubber and a suspension set-up that’s naturally efficient in the upper parts of its travel, and you get a bike that’s impressively agile, quick to accelerate and day-ride friendly for a machine with 155mm of travel.. .

The 155mm rear travel Sommet is Vitus’ enduro/all mountain bike available in both aluminium and carbon frame options. This well-specced VR version is the cheapest, but it still nails the essentials for smashing around the woods or dipping your toes into enduro racing. With quality RockShox suspension and essentials like a dropper post and grippy tyres, the VR was already a good deal at two grand, but this year’s model now has another £300 off, making it even more attractive.

An incredibly engaging and fun ride for the price, the Vitus Sommet is stunning value.
