A great-performing, top-value bike with a World Cup-winning heritage that dominates how it rides

  • Suspension works well over small, medium and large hits

Lows

  • Front end feels a bit low

Review: The 2019 Saracen Myst 29" is Forgiving & Agile

Mar 2019 · Paul Aston

Can a relatively simple single pivot design still hold its own against modern multi-pivot players?

Highs
  • Great suspension and solid build

  • Balanced and adjustable geometry

Lows
  • Lacking XL size

  • Limited availability worldwide
