Summary
The Vitus Mythique is a trail bike that offers excellent value for money, with new-school geometry and reliable components. It pedals efficiently and handles solidly at speed, though some reviews note issues with saddle comfort and suspension sensitivity. The bike is often praised for its cutting-edge sizing and geometry, but some components like the X-Fusion fork and Shimano brakes underperform.
Excellent value for money
New-school geometry and reliable components
Efficient pedaling with minimal bobbing
Solid and stable at speed
Cutting-edge sizing and geometry
Saddle comfort issues
X-Fusion fork could be more sensitive
Shimano brakes underperform
Seat tube design limits adjustment
Not as chuckable as some competitors
A sorted bike, but not as mind-blowing as on paper, and with saddle height issues for some
BikeRadarThe kit’s great overall, with details like top-spec tyres that you can really push
BikeRadarThe ride is fun though; it climbs well, it’s pretty stable downhill and it handles any type of trail your throw at it.
off.road.ccThankfully the past few years have seen competitively priced mountain bikes really up their game, with design, components and tech finding their way down from the high end...

With the introduction of the Vitus Mythique 27, Vitus looks poised to dominate the entry-level full-suspension category just as it dominates hardtails.
Cutting-edge sizing and geometry
Needs a better shock tune and a dropper post

The Vitus Mythique 29 VRS is a solid performer at the budget end of the scale. The 1x12 drivetrain is a real advantage and the geometry suits whatever kind of riding you fancy, while the tyres are a great spec for UK use. While some components underperform – the X-Fusion fork and Shimano brakes most notably – they're okay for the price. What's more, the Mythique is a bike worth upgrading, and for new riders looking for their first full suspension trail bike (without destroying the bank account), it’s a sensible choice.

A great bike let down by some spec-related flaws. The extra £200 for the VRS model is well worth it because you’re going to have way more fun out on the trails
A great-feeling frame with supple yet supportive suspension
Fantastic tyres and brakes
Lacklustre, flexible and underdamped fork lets the ride down
Could do with a slacker head angle and steeper seat tube angle
Needs a wider range of gears
