The new 65.5° 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 Trunnion 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 linkage durability and creates a super smooth, supple and responsive ride which offers incredible traction on the trail. This Sommet Suspension Bike has Boost hubs with wider front and rear axles for offering increased mud clearance, wheel stiffness, strength and durability. Features: Intended Use: All-mountain/enduro/downhill Travel: 160mm front and rear, patented four-bar V-Link rear suspension with horizontal floating shock mount Wheel Size: 27.5″ (650b) Boost 110x15mm through front axle Boost 148x12mm through rear axle Aggressive enduro Geometry (low, Slack, long with short stem) Clearance for up to 2.6″ tyres Removable High Direct FD mount ISCG 05-mounts for chainguide compatibility Bolt-on downtube protector to protect the downtube and cables from rock strikes Technologies: 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.
