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.
