Whether new to the black runs or a seasoned full-face enduro thrillseeker, the Vitus Sommet CRX 297 Mountain Bike delivers the rush. The rush of air, the rush of trees passing you in a blur, the rush of tyres through dirt, the rush of sounds - the brief snapshots that flood your senses and place you confidently in the zone.
The Sommet 297 CRX has been developed to run a mullet wheel setup. A 27.5” rear wheel gives you more clearance over the back for steep ground and is responsive through tight corners, while a stable 29” wheel at the front eats up rocky terrain and keeps momentum high. You’re getting the versatility of both wheel sizes in one bike. This balanced ride and reliable components will inspire you to graduate onto trails that may otherwise have felt out of reach. It’s not a bike for taking just any line, it’s a bike for taking the best line. A bike that tracks so accurately it rewards you with time. Time to line up the next obstacle and pick your route as the trail unfolds in front of you. Whether hairpin curves or dropping in on your favourite trail, speed comes easily to the Sommet CR. It thrives in the chaos of challenging trails. Bringing calm, and fun, where all around there is frenzy.
The Sommet comes with an adjustable flip chip to adjust your geometry as required. The "high" setting allows you to increase head angle by + 0.5 degrees and lift the bottom bracket by 6mm. Giving you the option to tweak your ride depending on the terrain you're riding. Robust frame protection on downtube, seat stay and chain stay keep your frame safe. Chain stay protection features a soft rubber to quieten chain slap.
