Aug 1, 2025Vitus E-Sommet 297 VRX XL
$2600 GBPOnly 90 miles!
Bought the bike in August 2022 after selling my other bikes during covid with all the intention of getting back into riding but in the 3 years of owning it I have only done 90 miles on it. I generally ride my hardtail on local rides with my daughter and other commitments mean I have no time to take the VRX to anywhere it deserves to be ridden.
Bike has always been stored in my garage, which is fully insulated and has an insulated door. Battery has been kept at approx 50% as recommended by Shimano and never left on full charge or depleted. I would charge for the ride then re-charge for approx 90 mins/2 hours to achieve 50ish%. Shimano motor and computer have been regularly updated via the app.
Bike is in nearly new condition, there are some light marks in the usual places on the frame from the little use it has had but generally it is mint. Not even been dropped or crashed, good for the bike but criminal for a proper mtb.
It is in stock form, which is a fantastic spec anyway. link here for the Vitus website https://vitusbikes.com/products/vitus-e-sommet-297-vrx-mountain-bike-2022
few highlights -
630wh Shimano Battery and Steps EP8 motor with EM800 computer and shifter.
170mm RockShox Zeb Ultimate 29 Forks - have spare tokens
Super Deluxe+ RT shock
Full XT Groupset, four piston calipers and 12 speed
Nukeproof Horizon V2 Wheels with proper DD casing Maxxis tyres. Assegai front 3C MaxxGrip & High Roller 2 rear 3C MaxxTerra. perfect for the bike
800mm uncut Nukeproof Horizon Bar
Brand X Ascend 170mm dropper, works smoothly like new
If you have any questions about the bike please ask. It's been awesome every time I have ridden it which has mainly been at Clent Hills. You can check my previous listings to see I have been around bikes for quite some time so I know how to look after them.

Jun 26, 2020Commencal Meta TR 29 XL (custom build)
$2700 GBPSelling my custom built trail bike as other commitments mean it spends too much time hanging on the wall in my house.

All the parts (except the brakes) were brand new for this build. full spec below.

This bike is a real head turner, I built it to make it unique and chose Marzocchi and Box components to complement that style. The suspension is so dialed on this bike. I am 6ft 3 and weigh 95kg and it is bang on. the rear is firm but incredibly active off the top so it grips like crazy but never feels like it bottoms out. the fork matches perfectly. The Box components are really high quality, similar shifter feel to a shimano shifter, but the cassette is so much nicer and an awesome range with better incriments than shimano.
I have honestly ridden this bike only a handful of times and it is ready for anything you can throw at it. I will be sad to see it go.
any questions please ask, collection only. please no stupid offers

Jun 26, 2020Commencal Furious Race XL
$2600 GBP2018 Commencal Furious Race XL (470mm reach / 640mm effective top tube length)
Selling my pride and joy as other commitments mean I just don't get the time to ride it anymore. Bought new at the end of 2018 and installed the Commencal frame protection pack straight away so the frame is still mint. I've gradually upgraded and changed parts to make this an absolute joy to ride. Changed the wheels to Hope DH as they are a lot stiffer than the standard wheels that came with it and setup tubeless. Changed to a Renthal 35 bar stem combo, replaced the average ethirteen chainguide with the mrp sxg carbon which is so much nicer and offers full protection but is completely silent and unrestrictive. I also played around with the Float X2 that came on the bike and just couldn't get on with it so changed to a dhx2 which only added a few grams but made such a difference to the ride quality. this bike is nice and progressive so it works so much better with this shock.
Full component break down:
Frame: 2018 Furious 6061 Aluminium, triple butted, 650b, 200mm travel - Raw Aluminium (drool)
Shock: Fox Factory DHX2 (coil), 250x75mm, Adjustments: High/low speed compression, high/low speed rebound, 550lb spring
Fork: Fox Factory 40 Float, Adjustments: High/low speed compression, rebound adjust, 1 volume spacer
Chainset: E13 LG1, 36T
Bottom Bracket: E13 Pressfit BB92
Shifter: SRAM GX DH, 7 speed
Rear Derailleur: SRAM GX DH, 7 speed
Cassette: SRAM GX DH, 7 speed, 11-25T
Chain: KMC X11
Chainguide: MRP SXG Carbon
Wheels: Hope DH (black front/silver rear)
Tyres: Maxxis Minions (setup tubeless with schwalbe tape and stans sealant)
Brakes: SRAM Code R, 200/200mm rotors, Uberbike racematrix pads
Handlebar: Renthal Fatbar Carbon 35 (30mm rise/800mm wide)
Stem: Renthal Integra 35 stem (50mm)
Grips: Deathgrips
Headset: Tapered 1 1/8″ to 1 1/2″, Ride Alpha, ZS44/ZS56
Seatpost: Ride Alpha DH, 31.6mm, no offset, ultra light, 300mm
Saddle: Ride Alpha, 245mm, Ti-Alloy rails
The bike has the odd mark and general wear and tear but honestly it is awesome. Feels so light and nimble for a big rig and is a monster at jumping.
if you have any questions please ask, no silly offers, collection only.

May 30, 2020Marzocchi Bomber CR 250 x 75
$225 GBPMarzocchi Bomber CR shock, in immaculate condition with original box and manual.
Bought for my Commencal Furious to test how a coil would run compared to the air shock that came with it, really enjoyed the feel but managed to get hold of a dhx2 so took this off.
was bought from J-tech so it has been tested, includes mounting hardware 20mm x 8mm which can easily be removed if this doesn't fit your bike.
an awesome fit and forget shock for the money, this is like new.
will ship within UK only
