Vitus Sommet 29 CRS review: killer build and neutral handling - MBR

Oct 2021 · Alan Muldoon

There are three levels of Vitus Sommet 29 and all share the exact same frame with its carbon front end. The Sommet 29 CRS Vitus brings colour to every ride.

Highs
  • Neutral handling, killer build.

Lows
  • No low-speed adjuster on rear shock.

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

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.
