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...

A good all-rounder elevated by its spec, but push too hard and you’ll find the limits of its geometry
Excellently balanced on most trail types
A total blast to rip around turns
Almost irreproachable spec
Geometry means a compromised ride on both the ups and downs
Post doesn’t have a long enough drop for taller riders

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.

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.
Great suspension and competitive pricing. Dialled cockpit.
BB height is too high. Seat post doesn’t go far enough into the frame. Hard compound Schwalbe tyres lack grip.
