Vitus nailed a balanced feel with the Mythique, despite some component woes.
Balanced geometry and handling
Nice frame details, feels well build
Mostly good parts selection
Resin-only rotors and pads
Poor fork performance

Fast, racer-inspired feel
Brakes and Drivetrain are best in price category
Easily upgradable thanks to smart design
Encourages speed and confidence
Pedals well
Poppy suspension feel
External cable routing
Some may find rear end a bit stiff on chunky terrain
Some testers thought the welds looked a bit cheap
Would love a longer dropper post

With the Vitus Mythique VRX 27 the brand has created an entry level trail shredder without the limiting entry level geometry of old.
Dec 2022 · Luke Marshall
The Vitus is a good bike that has plenty of potential, but it's better suited to moderate trails and would benefit from some spec upgrades
Well thought-out frame details
Updated geometry will help keep the bike future-proof
Versatile tyres
10-speed gears are good but not great
Low front reduces downhill confidence

The 2023 Vitus Mythique presents incredible value in a world of ever increasing price rises with a thoroughly modern 140mm aluminum trail bike
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.
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.
