Vitus E-Sommet 297, Size Small, spec as follows:
E7000 motor, just 515kms on the clock. Never chipped or derestricted in any way.
630wh battery. 100% healthy, no faults.
2 wheelsets - Alex Rims on Chosen hubs, with Maxxis Exo+ Minion DHF and DD High Roller II, both tubeless (Full Muc-Off setup). Original Vitus wheelset, with Schwalbe Johnny Watts front and rear, also fully tubeless (Full Muc-Off setup). All tyres have decent tread depths , with none of them having had any repairs/plugs.
220mm front rotor, 203mm rear, with Deore levers front and rear.
SR Suntour Durolux 36EQ R2C2 fork, with HSC, LSC, HSR, & LSR, as well as integrated mudguard.
Marzocchi Bomber CR shock, with 450lb spring, LSC & LSR.
Shimano GR500 flat pedals, almost new.
Shimano 1x11 Deore drivetrain, with 32t chainring and Sunrace 11-50t cassette.
Side-loading bottle cage.
Rockshox Reverb B1 150mm dropper post, with under-bar lever, very recently stripped and rebuilt.
Brand new Bontrager lock-on grips.
Original, un-cut 760mm handlebar and 40mm stem.
SDG BelAir 3.0 saddle.
Fully invisiframed from new, including fork.
Brand new battery charger, including European and UK plug leads, and off bike charge adaptor.
New headset bearings, ready for fitting when needed (probably come spring).
Still has 12 months warranty on all motor/battery components.
This bike has been loved and cared for, though has had some damned good riding thrown in too! It is a great example of an excellent bike, with really nothing to want for. The suspension upgrades have made a significant difference, with the Suntour fork offering the same level of tuneability as a Fox Factory 36 fork, and the Bomber CR shock giving unrivaled grip but without the loss of any of the 'pop' at the rear. The 630wh battery, combined with the E7000 motor, gives exceptional range, whilst the 220ml front rotor gives unrivalled stopping power. The hydraulic dropper post removes the difficulty of operating a cable remote, on such a tight cable routing (through the headset), and offers the fullest serviceability of any dropper on the market. Add in a few aesthetic touches, such as the oilslick tints on the brake mounting bolts (both levers and callipers), saddle, valves (both wheel sets), and spacers, and this really is a superb bike at a bargain price. Based on prices showing on Chain Reaction, today, you'd have to spend at least £3,100 for a similar bike, though with a significantly lower spec than this.
There are some marks in the invisiframe covering, on the fork and on the frame, but they are barely noticeable (see photos). There are some stickers on the frame, but these are on top of the invisframe, so easily removeable if desired. I have used a velcro strap, on the battery door, for added security, as even the Vitus-upgraded door seemed to have a slight sag, but the new owner may decide to keep or remove it.
Looking for offers in the region of £2,500, collected, or can post anywhere in mainland UK (not highlands and islands), payment will be by bank transfer (or PayPal, with any fees covered by buyer). Please PM any questions.
