For sale!

Well looked after, freshly serviced 2022 vitus sommet 297 CR £1350

Selling as my son no longer uses it. Light use and currently retails for £2699. Slight dent to rear rim. Will be serviced before collection.

The Sommet 297 CR has been developed to run a mullet wheel setup. A 27.5” rear wheel gives you more clearance over the back for steep ground and is responsive through tight corners, while a stable 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. With volume added to the carbon front triangle, stability is rock solid without compromising agility. This balanced ride and reliable Shimano components will inspire you to graduate onto trails that may otherwise have felt out of reach. It’s not a bike for taking just any line, it’s a bike for taking the best line. 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.

Hi everyone, unfortunately my workshop was broken into yesterday and my personal bikes and all my tools were stolen.

This particular bike is very rare, as it was custom built and had a one-off colour.

If you see anything like this up for sale, I’d be grateful if you could let me know.

Thanks,

Ben
