The stock 2.5 Assegai. The 35 is too wide for that tyre and doesn’t have the reinforcement of the 30

I run Hope Fortus 30s on mine. Bullet proof DH rim with lovely clicky pro 4 hubs. Just back today from a week in the french alps and they performed faultlessly

Chill day today so I took the Vitus out. My usual DH rig is an Intense M16 and the ESommet compares very favourably. Feels planted and secure plus it will get me up bits the DH bike won’t. Cracking bike this Vitus

I commute on my Vitus eSommet, at least I did before lockdown. 52km round trip. I have two sets of wheels, one with schwalbe marathon and the other with the original Assegai. Works a treat. (And yes, I know it’s ugly!)

I’ve just noticed the VRS is a grand more than I paid in December. What’s going on there?

I run Hope f20s on all my mtb’s. The nano’s are excellent as well though

You won’t be disappointed

Mine never got out of processing, it just showed up

It looks better in the flesh but I kind of wish I’d splashed more cash on the next model up as that’s plain black. However the bike itself is awesome, very happy with mine

Buy a second battery and enjoy the boost!

It sure is fugly, no doubt about that but then no one buys a Vitus for its looks.... It’s basically in functional commuter trim right now. At some point I’ll buy something with a nice DH fork on it like the Kenevo.

Thanks Nicho, I won the discussion in the end so all sorted.

You’ll know whether it will fit when you offer it up. Mine is medium on a large eSommet and it’s perfect size wise

My first issue and unfortunately CRC have been useless. The cable on my charger looks to me like it’s had a material failure and the plastic coating has work hardened and split. It hasn’t been misused and my laptop cable which gets a whole bunch of wear shows no such sign of any wear. CRC...

I like the set up. Completely with you that the mudhugger is ugly af

The pro mechanics in Les Gets don’t like to touch the SRAM...they don’t like them. I run Guide on my DH but both my Oranges have Hope on them. The Hope are much better

I have a long RRP on mine and now a mudhugger as I was finding the RRP wasn’t quite enough to protect me of the bike. Hoping this combo will do the trick. Mine does double duty as a commuter and use as a full mtb. Have to say I’m not so keen on it swathed in mudguards but for the winter it’s...

Mine all fitted. RRP covers the bottom nicely with the mud hugger on the rest. Hoping/expecting this to keep me and the lower pivot dry and clean

I’ve had a eSommet VRS since December. It wasn’t that well packaged but the bike was unmarked and I’ve been really pleased so far. I got a second set of wheels which somehow turned into Hope Fortus and the originals have road tyres. It doubles as a commuter during the week and a proper mtb on...

I’m going to fit mine tomorrow. The current RRP one isn’t good enough
