Vitus E-Sommet VR

[davosaurusrex]

I reckon there'll be a strip of that 70s metallic green down the middle of the top tube and it'll look pimp!

 

[Albez]

Think I prefer the colours on the standard sommet and the sentier though, how much difference between the e7000 and the e8000?

 

[Polaris]

Yeah the red is defo a bit more striking. Will wait to see more pics or a 360 when they get round to uploading. Funny that Vitus don’t even have these bikes on their own website yet?!

Purple velvet pimp and they would Be smoking my money right now. Or snorting with it

I think it’s the Matt black battery against the gloss black frame.. just looks odd

Off hot girls in lingerie... And probably riding this

Looks good, I wonder if the geo really has changed at all? Can see a few tweaks - WTB rims/wheels, more sensible compound High Roller rear tyre. Very short offset fork, dunno if it's a 2018/19?

Not due to the end of the year though, £200 dearer and no 10% BC discount. I wonder if they will be available through Wiggle again with the gold/platinum discounts?

I will be using my Platinum IF I get this one. It’s looking more like a Canyon for myself, though... IF they are in stock.

Is the 2019 canyon range out yet?

Nah, just a few left in stock of their 2018s.

 

[Doomanic]

How do you get the platinum discount?

Spend a monkey.

I emailed Canyon yesterday they said no dates yet just to keep an eye on the website. Im currently torn between Canyon, Commencal, Lapierre.....literally no idea which way to turn

I’ve looked at all options too and it really is a close call as the specs aren’t that different. Mondraker on my list too.. desicions desicions

Which is leading the way for you?? I seem to favour the Shimano set ups, Moustache do a good looking bike too but its a Bosch system....

I have a cube with Bosch CX series motor and it’s been faultless over 4K miles and all weather so I can’t recommend it high enough, so don’t be put off by Bosch mate. As for my shortlist I’m looking at ghost, mondraker, canyon and Vitus, but some of the new cubes look great too

My local bike shop is looking at getting some Ghost bikes in, look decent those to be fair. Seemed a tad pricey tho for the spec I was looking at. Been offered a Lapierre overvoly 927i RRP £6690 for 5k today!! I just cant peel myself away from the Canyon and Commencal at the moment...

Canyon?
Bosch?

Vitus's always look better in the flesh than they do on their website/official pics

Shhhhhhhh....

 

[ccrdave]

is there a difference in power between e8000 and e7000?

Look good enough to me in the pics, look way better than a levo to me even without an integrated battery. So if they look better in the flesh I'm on to a winner. Might just go for the standard sommet though as the e7000 looks powerful enough for my type of riding and nice and quiet and lighter. Much prefer the colour scheme from the pics on the standard as well, will probably change my mind countless times before they arrive though so will keep my options open for now.

 

[Albez]

is there a difference in power between e8000 and e7000?

Yeah I think e7000 is 60nm while the e8000 is 70nm but not much difference in power. From what I have read the e7000 is quieter and smaller and meant to be more smoother without any drag when the motor cuts out.

 

[Gary]

without any drag when the motor cuts out.

Pretty sure it'll be the same as the E8000 in that respect

 

[drjarvis2003]

is there a difference in power between e8000 and e7000?

10 nm

 

[R120]

I actually think that the e7000 might turn out to be bit of a gem - e.g for me i hardly ever use turbo on the e8000, the appeal to me of the Shimano system are its riding characteristics in Trail mode.

 

[ccrdave]

are they different motors or just a different tune?

 

[Gary]

different motors

 

[ccrdave]

mmm interesting I really really like the Vitus
