UK Enduro: Vitus Sommet 29 VRX on test
The Sommet is the longest travel bike in the Vitus MTB range and is sold exclusively through the two largest UK online retailers, Wiggle and Chain Reaction.

With the VRX, the top version of the enduro bike for 4300 euros also fluttered into this test. It starts at just €1999, and models with 27.5-inch wheels are also available. Considering the price, the VRX is extremely well equipped: Shimano XTR gears, Race Face carbon cranks and a complete Fox Factory suspension system leave nothing to be desired.

The test costs 0.99 euros. Why not free of charge? Because quality journalism has a price. In return, we guarantee independence and objectivity. This applies in particular to the tests in BIKE. We don't pay for them, but the opposite is the case: we charge for them - hundreds of thousands of euros every year.
