Vitus Sommet 297 AMP Mountain Bike (2022)

With a 'mullet' wheel platform (29" front / 27.5" rear), a carbon/alloy frame, RockShox suspension and a SRAM XO1 12-Speed groupset, the Vitus Sommet 297 AMP Mountain Bike is the ultimate high-performance full-suspension enduro race mach

the Sommet 297 AMP features 170mm-travel RockShox suspension front and rear - Zeb Ultimate forks and a Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock give you outstanding trail-smoothing traction for all-terrain racing. Spurring it onwards is a fast-shifting SRAM XO1 Eagle groupset with a 10-52T cassette and powerful all-weather SRAM Code RSC hydraulic disc brakes. It also rolls upon Tubeless Ready Nukeproof Horizon V2 wheels wrapped in Maxxis tyres and it features a RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper seatpost.

Ideal for Enduro, Bike Park and All Mountain Riding

When the trees are passing you in a blur and the beams of light and colour transport you to a new place. Is this what warp speed feels like? Float from take-off to landing and rip down descents, from bike park to big mountain and ragged off-piste. 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 thrill-seekers and the diehards. This is why you do it.

Mixed-Wheel Size for Optimised Speed, Agility and Control

The Sommet 297 AMP has been developed to run a manual-loving mullet wheel setup. A 27.5” rear wheel gives you more clearance to hang off the back on steep ground or drops, while a stable 29” wheel at the front eats up rocky terrain and keeps momentum high.

Long-Travel RockShox Suspension and SRAM XO1 Eagle Groupset

You’re getting the versatility of both wheel sizes in one bike. Keeping the shifting on-point is SRAM’s XO1 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, paired with powerful SRAM Code RSC disc brakes that should put an end to those cold-sweat moments when you’re coming in just a little too hot. 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 rewards you with time. Time to line up the next obstacle and pick your route as the trail unfolds in front of you.

Powerful and Dependable Enduro Race Bike

The Sommet is a bike that you sit within, not perch on top. Eagerly shred the refined berms and manicured features of a trail centre but take a step into the wild and that’s where this bike really comes alive, revelling in the unpredictability of naturally technical ground. Whether threading the needle through Enduro tape or dropping in on your favourite descent, speed comes easily to the Sommet AMP. It thrives in the chaos of turbulent trails. Bringing calm where all around there is frenzy.

About the Vitus brand

First emerging as a frame builder in 1970s France, Vitus Bikes played a pivotal role in pioneering the design and manufacture of lugged and bonded aluminium frames, the most iconic being the 979, groundbreaking at the time and still prized among collectors today. In 1982 we engineered and developed the 979 Carbone, one of the very first frames to take carbon fibre technology from the aerospace industry and apply it to bikes. Their tradition of innovation continued throughout subsequent decades with frames which included the 1991 ZXI monocoque carbon frame, the spirit of which lives on in their latest generation of monocoque road bikes. Without exception, each of the bikes – from their singlespeed commuter to the high-end carbon road model – won plaudits for their ride quality, build and great value. The reviews confirmed what they knew all along, and they intend to improve on these already test-winning models as Vitus push forward with the development of this great brand of bikes. “Credit has to be due to a brand that has come back from the ashes and rather than milk the prestige of the old days, has set its sights on the biggest players on the scene.” CYCLIST magazine. Vitus bikes have been tested in many of the top cycling titles and websites across all disciplines. Their bikes have won group tests across Europe and are regarded as some of the best on the market.
