VITUS SOMMET PRO


THE SOMMET PRO is a head turner with its matt black finish, matching blacked-out SRAM and RockShox components and bright yellow Mavic hoops.

Under all that finery lies a machine that's ready to rip up the trails or tackle the gnarliest enduro stages, if the numbers are anything to go by. With 160mm (6.3in) of travel up front, 155mm (6.1in) at the rear and a relatively slack 66-degree head angle, the Sommet doesn't look like it'll hold you back. The 6061-T6 alloy frame uses a Horst Link four-bar linkage design and comes kitted out with a SRAM X01/X1 transmission, RockShox Pike RCT3 fork and Monarch Plus RC3 DebonAir shock.

PRICE 5560$
