Whatever happened to the Vitus Gravir?

Vitus released the quite good looking Vitus Gravir 29 back in 2013. Bikeradar posted a preview and promised more information but it never came. Today, the bike is nowhere to be found on Vitus' pages, and CRC no longer sells it. So whatever happened to the Vitus Gravir?

    I think they're phasing it out and going for a more trail/enduro based FS market

    They aren't a huge company so can't make a load of different bikes and the escarpe always seemed more popular with 140mm all round making it an ideal trail bike

    They released the Dominer a while back and stopped production the following year along with the sommet
    I'm guess the Gravir/Blitz has suffered the same fate
    But the 2015 prototypes look good with some real potential to push into the enduro market
