Vitus E-Sommet 297 VRX Electric Mountain Bike

The Vitus e-Sommet VRX Mountain Bike has all the trail-shredding performance and longer travel of a big-hitting 170mm Enduro bike, with a Shimano motor under the hood that kills the climbs and extends access to the most technical tracks.

The e-Sommet VRX has been developed to run a mullet wheel setup. A 27.5" rear wheel gives you more clearance for steep ground and is more responsive through tight corners, while a 29" wheel at the front eats up rocky terrain and keeps momentum high. You’re getting the versatility of both wheel sizes in one bike. The stability of the full aluminium frame with a seamlessly integrated battery is rock solid, so you won’t be taking just any line, this is a bike for taking the best line. This is a bike that tracks so accurately it rewards you with time. Time to line up the next obstacle and pick your route as the trail unfolds in front of you. The powerful STEPS system, with E8035 504wh internal battery, keeps you fresh on the climbs so you can go all-in on the descents.
