    E-sommet is fantastic

    I just love the grip this bike has. Really impressed with it in steep terrain. Seems the weight and Assegai at 26 Front and 28 rear in the dry is the sweet spot. My Privateer does not have this much grip! My optic feels out of control on the same tracks. We have a DH line here which is really...

    Vitus ESommet Vrs finally here- problems

    Looks great. Going tubeless? I see the wheels have the factory tape on.

    Agree fully on the external battery. They do look really lean. Nice to be able to have a backup battery on hand and an easy switch. Looking forward to the test ride later. DH LAPS. Convert to tubeless straight away or burn up those tubes. Got so many spare tubes :P

    I got my e-sommet at 7am this morning! Not bad for under 10 days since ordering. Bike was well packed. Not a mark on it. The boxing is much better. Steerer/stem padded heavily. Cables all nice and short. I have loved the Sommet frame ever since DirtMags review back in 2017. One of nicest...

    Seems like they have dropped Tuffnells. I got a shipping note with arrow XL.

    Vitus ESommet Vrs finally here- problems

    My escarpe had a knock to the top cap. Like the box was dropped upside down and the stem area just punched through 2 layers of cardboard. This was one of the newer boxes which was much thicker. So I guess at tuffnells it was thrown off the truck at their depot. I am waiting on a black VRS and...

    Yeah a better look at the frame. Can't believe how well it rides. So playful.

    Cush Core - would you recommened?

    I use Rimpact on all my bikes and now on my 27.5 ebike. This is around the Tweed Valley, Scotland. First used this racing with my enduro bike. Been through procore, cushcore, HuckN and been the longest on Rimpact. They damp out all the trail chatter. Easy to install. Trailside if you really...

    Why do some people focus primarily on motor/battery as their deciding factor?

    I picked my ebike after a test run on an Vitus E-Escarpe and also having some time on the regular Vitus Sommet 2017 (after dirt mags review) which ended up one of the most fun, capable bikes I have ever owned. The suspension platform works really well. The battery on the vitus bikes are not the...

    Thanks. Funny thing is I am on the ebike most of the time! Loving the Escarpe suspension platform. Feels really good.

    Been lurking a while. Chose a small frame after looking at some posts. Got a small E-Escarpe. Climbs really well, even with the e7000. Really fun on the jump line even with smaller travel. I have just ordered the E-sommet VRS in black sunset. Never looked at ebikes much. My main trail bike is a...
