Vitus Mythique 29 VRS review

May 2020 · Mick Kirkman

A sorted bike, but not as mind-blowing as on paper, and with saddle height issues for some

Highs
  • Schwalbe tyres are superb for the price

  • 12-speed SX Eagle drivetrain weighs more but works almost as well as top-tier SRAM kit

Lows
  • Bottom bracket and seat tower are too high

  • X-Fusion fork could be more sensitive over repeated bumps

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.

Vitus Mythique 29 VRS: first ride review - MBR

Jan 2020 · Alan Muldoon

The Vitus Mythique 29 VRX is the flagship bike in a new range of full-sussers that is designed to blow your mind, not your budget.

Highs
  • Great suspension and competitive pricing. Dialled cockpit.

Lows
  • BB height is too high. Seat post doesn’t go far enough into the frame. Hard compound Schwalbe tyres lack grip.
