One of our favorite workhorse trail bikes gets an all-new frame with updated geometry.
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
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.
