With volume added to the carbon front triangle, the bike feels calm and predictable with no compromise on agility.

The rush that pushes you to explore your limits without overstepping the mark. This is for the full-face thrill-seekers and the diehards. This is why you do it. As the sport of Enduro moves forward, challenging both bike and rider with more technical descents and punchy climbs, the Sommet has been engineered to keep pace. Extensive work has been done to improve small bump sensitivity, smoothing out the trail to keep you firmly in control and reduce pedal bob when you need to lay down more power. There’s a flip-chip to help you refine a setup that best suits your style, internal cable routing to keep everything tidy and the frame is well protected with robust guards on the downtube and chainstays. 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. This is the perfect foundation from which to build your dream Enduro bike.

To deal with the dynamic nature of trail riding, the Escarpe stays predictable and consistent so that you can stay loose. No white knuckles here. The suspension kinematics have been enhanced compared to the previous platform, further countering the effects of pedal-bob and reducing the harshness of small bumps and trail vibrations that drain your energy and kill speed. Smoother is faster for longer.

The Energie EVO features a stylish carbon frame and fork with modern geometry and beautiful visuals. This frameset gives you exceptional agility and pedalling efficiency whether you're gravel racing, trail riding or clocking up the miles on daily commutes. Plus, it features flat mounts for disc brakes, mudguard mounts and 12mm thru-axles front and rear. Sleek and Stylish Modern Geometry Off-Road Race Frame The Vitus Energie EVO frameset has the clean lines and sleek aesthetic of a modern carbon race bike. But its best side is not the one leaning pristine against an immaculate garage wall or sparkling for Instagram. It’s the one ready to race laps of a grassy park in the rain, slide into muddy corners, power through sand and compete in the worst winter weather. Lightweight Carbon Frame and Fork This is for the passionate. This is for those who come alive on cold Sunday mornings, who delight in the rush of exciting racing. This is for those looking for the difference without compromising the basic joy of riding. Importantly, this is UCI-approved and podium-ready. A game-changer. Whether racing for the podium or just for fun, the frame is loaded with thoughtfully engineered features that are uniquely designed and refined for the demands of cyclocross. A flatter top tube sits comfortably into the shoulder and single-entry cable routing reduces penetration of dirt so that performance is not reduced by wet conditions or a jet wash. Plus, it features a revised carbon lay-up that improves stiffness for powering out of the turns, where it really matters mid-race, while also reducing weight for when you need to carry or charge into a climb. Responsive and Durable for Gravel and Cyclocross The top tube is slightly longer than before, keeping weight distribution slightly back from the front end, so the handling feels snappy and responsive - this is immediate control, whatever the conditions. Frame clearance around the wheels is vast, so your speed won’t be slowed, nor is the bike weighed down by mud. It also makes the bike easy to clean for your pit crew, and when the racing is done you can spray it down quickly and put it straight into the car. For Cyclocross Racing, Winter Training and All-Weather Commuting A Vitus is always best being ridden, not hanging on a wall, waiting or posing. So when you’re not lining up for cyclocross, thanks to an innovative removable seat stay bridge, you can add mudguards and carry on with your winter training and year-round commuting. However hard the ride, with the Vitus Energie EVO Frameset the fun is always turned right up. Why wouldn’t you want to keep riding this bike?
