Offers stonking value for money and delivers a controlled, composed ride
Lively, energetic feel
Composed and stable when things get rough
Incredible value includes carbon mainframe frame with top-end kit bolted to it
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

We've tested the extremely-good-value-for-money 2021 Vitus Sommet CRS enduro mountain bike on our home steeps of the Tweed Valley, Scotland - full report

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.

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