Stable and forgiving ride
Great-performing, top-value bike
Aggressive riding position that promotes confidence
Effective rear suspension system
High-quality components
Coil fork is harder to set up than the air alternative
Front end feels a bit low
Lardy 18.5kg weight
Cramped riding position due to sizing
Chassis harshness on big hits saps energy
A great-performing, top-value bike with a World Cup-winning heritage that dominates how it rides
BikeRadarThe Saracen Myst does chew up the terrain when you do get up to speed, taking Revolution Bike park and Antur Stiniog at its leisure.
Dirt MountainbikeThe suspension is superbly supple off the top, and has really good mid-stroke support and bottom-out resistance... I would describe the Myst as responsive and lively, but it still gives confidence and holds a line when things get rowdy.Pinkbike

Can a relatively simple single pivot design still hold its own against modern multi-pivot players?
Great suspension and solid build
Balanced and adjustable geometry
Lacking XL size
Limited availability worldwide
