Vitus Sommet 29 CRX review

Apr 2021 · Mark Gover

Offers stonking value for money and delivers a controlled, composed ride

Highs
  • Lively, energetic feel

  • Composed and stable when things get rough

  • Incredible value includes carbon mainframe frame with top-end kit bolted to it

Lows
  • Doesn’t feel quite as planted or as forgiving as the best in category

  • Fox 38 can feel a little over-damped for lighter riders

Lows
  • Less refined chassis than competitors

Vitus Sommet 27 review

Apr 2019

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.
