Making our award winning bikes
Making our award winning bikes better. The Vitus Escarpe and Sommet platforms have
been at the top of our MTB range since their introduction in 2012 and our goal has never changed. Make high performance mountain bikes that are capable of winning races, bike tests, weekend mates races & Strava KOMS at a price point that makes sense to the end consumer.

Carbon First
By designing our new Sommet and Escarpe platforms in tandem we decided early on that we were going to focus on a Carbon front triangle only with a aluminium rear triangle. This gives the perfect blend of stiffness and compliance. We increased the tube volume in the front triangle to improve stiffness, giving better track holding and stability through the full size range.
Updated Geometry
We have updated the geometry to give a more confidence inspiring ride. Key changes are slacker head angles and lower BB drop on both the Escarpe and Sommet platforms. We have also steepened the effective seat tube angle and made it progressively steeper as you go up the size range. This ensures that each frame size has an optimal sagged saddle position with no compromise.
By measuring saddle height at saddle lay back we looked at the position of the saddle relative to the bottom bracket to ensure when the bike was in sag you had an optimal pedaling position. The reason we steepened the seat angle on the larger frame sizes was to ensure that the saddle layback wasn't too far behind the bottom bracket.
Adjustable Flip Chip
Both platforms come with an adjustable flip chip allowing you to increase head angle by + 0.5 degrees and lift the bottom bracket by 6mm. Giving you the option to tweak your ride depending on the terrain you're riding.
Improved Suspension Design
We have gone back to a fixed lower shock mount to allow for our new flip chip, this also allowed us to refine the suspension kinematics. An improved consistent progressive leverage curve gives more consistent feel, supports and damping.
