The Escarpe and Sommet get completely updated for 2021 while still remaining very reasonably priced.

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.

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.. .

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

We test the Vitus Sommet CRX Carbon over in Ireland and gather our first impressions on the bike.
