This race-ready rig is now longer, lower, and slacker than ever before. The new 65 5å¡ head angle, increased reach, longer wheelbase, and better standover clearance all combine to inspire confidence: giving the rider more space to move around, improving stability; helping them stay in control on the most technical of trails Suspension Redesign for TrunnionSuspension has been redesigned and increased at both ends with 170mm on the front and 160mm on the rear. Vitus redesigned the leverage curve for the new Trunnion shock to be more supple, supportive, and progressive than the previous version. Rear suspension small bump sensitivity has been increased thanks to the incorporation of a super low friction Metric shock. This combined with the upper Trunnion bearing shock mount improves suspension linkagedurability and creates a super smooth, supple and responsive ride which offers incredible traction on the trail The Sommet CR Carbon FS model has Boost hubs; the wider front and rear axles for offer increased mud clearance, wheel stiffness, strength and durability Features:Frameset:Frame:åÊT700/T800 Toray Carbon Fibre front triangle with 6061-T6 Aluminium rear triangle with patented four-bar V-Link rear suspension, 160mm travelForks: RockShox Yari RC, 170mm travel, DebonAir spring, Motion Control IS Damper, External Rebound adjuster, Low Speed Compression to Lock, Ì÷35mm Alloy Stanchions ‰ÛÒ Fast Black coating, tapered aluminium steerer, Boost 15x110mm Axle, 46mm offset, Maxle StealthShock: RockShox Super Deluxe R – Trunnion, Native metric Design, Debon Air Spring, External Rebound Damping Adjustment, ML1 205×62 5mmGroupset:Chainset: Shimano SLX FC-M7000, 170mm, 32T, BoostBottom Bracket: Shimano MT500-PA Press Fit, 73mmShifters: Shimano SLX SL-M7000-IR Rapid Fire Plus, I-Spec II, 11-SpeedChainguide: MRP 1xCSRear Derailleur: Shimano SLX RD-M7000 Shadow PlusCassette: Shimano CS-M7000, 11t-46T, 11-SpeedChain: KMC X11, 11-SpeedWheelset:Rims: Raceface AR30 (tubeless ready), 27 5″Front Hub: Novatec D711SB-B15 – 6 Bolt, 110mm x 15mmRear Hub: Novatec D462SB-SL-B12 – 6 Bolt, 148mm x 12mm Spokes: Stainless Double Butted Tyres: Front: Maxxis High Roller II Maxx Terra, 3C/EXO/TR, 27 5‰Û x 2.4‰ÛRear: Maxxis Minion DHR II TR/DD, 27 5‰Û x 2.3‰ÛComponents:Front Brake: Shimano SLX BR-M7000 Hydraulic Disc, 203mm rotorRear Brake: Shimano SLX BR-M7000 Hydraulic Disc, 180mm rotorHandlebars: Nukeproof Horizon, 7075 Double-Butted Alloy, 25mm rise, 780mm wide (S/M/L) or 800mm (L/XL)Headset: FSA Orbit 1.5 Zero Stack (NO 57), 1.1/8″ ‰ÛÒ 1.5″Stem: Nukeproof Neutron, 35mm extensionSaddle: Nukeproof NeutronSeatpost:åÊBrand-X Ascend XL Stealth Dropper, 31 6mm x 150mm drop (120mm Drop on size S)Seatclamp:åÊVitus BoltWeight:åÊ14.3kg/31 5bsSpecification:Intended use: All-mountain/enduro/downhillTravel: 160mm, patented four-bar V-Link rear suspension with horizontal floating shock mountFork Travel: 170mmRear Travel: 160mmWheel Size: 27 5‰Û (650b)Speed: 11-SpeedBoost 110x15mm Through front axleBoost 148x12mm through rear axleAggressive enduro Geometry (low, Slack, long with short stem)Clearance for up to 2.6‰Û tyresRemovable High Direct FD mountISCG 05-mounts for chainguide compatibilityBolt-on downtube protector to protect the downtube and cables fromrock strikesInternal cable routing for Stealth ReverbTechnologies:Main Pivot Location: This is located in a fixed high and forward position in line with a 32T chain ring position, this gives natural anti squat/bob when pedalling in the most commonly used 1x 32T setup without relying on excessive chain tension and none of the related pedal feedback Chainstay Pivot Location: This pivot is placed in line with the chainstay eliminating any force directed to the shock linkage causing the shock to compress (pedal bob) due to chain tension. This pivot location also maximises active suspension when using the rear brake; similar to a floating brake design, without the added weight Rearward Axle Path: Because of the main pivot location, the Sommet has 66mm of travel with a reward axle path which all helps the rider to carry momentum over rough terrain and especially over square edged hits Suspension Redesign: Redesigned leverage curve for the new Trunnion shock means it is more supple, supportive and progressive than the previous version. The lower shock mount still moves forward with the suspension; providing a consistent rate without falling off at full travel. This movement also reduces the shock angle change at full travel reducing side loads and improving the reliability of the shock Easy AssemblyWhen you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping.
