Expirience with the Vitus SOMMET 297 CR

Vitus SOMMET 297 CR Review You prefer your bike to be used as a on very demanding single trails? Then the Vitus Fully and you could really hit it off. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Vitus. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. There are bikes with a more sporty, but also with more comfortable seating approach. The SOMMET 297 CR wants to combine the best of the two worlds with a moderate orientation. There are Enduro in the price under 4500 Euro that have more potential downhill. But the Enduro of Vitus still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Vitus installed higher-quality wheels.
