The Vitus Sommet 297 CRS 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 light, the rush of sounds - the brief snapshots that flood your senses and place you deep in the zone.

And then there?s the rush that boils up inside you and the feeling of total control as you float from takeoff to landing and rip down descents, from bike park to big mountain. The rush as you roll out at the bottom of the trail and chase one last uplift. The rush that pushes you to explore your limits without overstepping the mark. This is for the full-face thrillseekers and the diehards. This is why you do it.

The Sommet 297 CRS has been developed to run a mullet wheel setup. A 27.5? rear wheel gives you more clearance for steep ground and is more responsive through tight corners, while a 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. Plus, it?s easier to practise manuals and wheelies. With volume added to the carbon front triangle, stability is rock solid without compromising agility. 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.

The Sommet is a bike that you sit within, not perch on top. Eagerly build your confidence on the refined berms and manicured features of a trail centre, but pedal into the wild and that?s where this bike really comes alive. Whether threading the needle through Enduro tape or dropping in on your favourite descent, speed comes easily to the Sommet. It thrives in the chaos of steep and challenging trails. Bringing calm, and fun, where all around there is frenzy.
