Vitus Mythique 29 VRX review

Nov 2021 · Alex Evans

A good all-rounder elevated by its spec, but push too hard and you’ll find the limits of its geometry

Highs
  • Excellently balanced on most trail types

  • A total blast to rip around turns

  • Almost irreproachable spec

Lows
  • Geometry means a compromised ride on both the ups and downs

  • Post doesn’t have a long enough drop for taller riders

Vitus Mythique 27 VR review - MBR

Jul 2020 · Alan Muldoon

With the introduction of the Vitus Mythique 27, Vitus looks poised to dominate the entry-level full-suspension category just as it dominates hardtails.

Highs
  • Cutting-edge sizing and geometry

Lows
  • Needs a better shock tune and a dropper post

Vitus Mythique 29 VRS review

May 2020

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.
