E-sommet is fantastic

[Benbenben]

First time e bike owner and got the E-sommet VR a week ago, I have done 165km on it so far all on offload single track and mini DH runs. The bike is quick and nimble when at speed and really ploughs roots when need be.
I'm 5'10 and very happy with the medium if that helps anyone.
I don't feel the need to upgrade anything out of the box.

Thank to all on the forum for your reviews and threads on this great bike.

You make a very valid point regarding upgrades. I've still upgraded nearly everything though!

It's an amazing bike. I live in Wales have some unbelievably steep technical DH trails 10 minutes from where I live and the bike is just giving me the confidence to attack things I never would have attempted a few weeks ago.

When everyone mentions good geometry in the reviews it's not until you start riding it hard the penny drops and you understand exactly what they mean.

I'm a tad over 5.10 and went for the large frame.

I just love the grip this bike has. Really impressed with it in steep terrain. Seems the weight and Assegai at 26 Front and 28 rear in the dry is the sweet spot. My Privateer does not have this much grip! My optic feels out of control on the same tracks. We have a DH line here which is really steep and not much room for error. PR with the Sommet!
