It might not be the most technical, it might not have the steepest turns or descents that induce a cold sweat, but that flow is so good to ride. You can visualise every inch of it. Every rise, fall and bend. Dialled. The Vitus Mythique Mountain Bike delivers that same feeling of ease, building your confidence with its proven capability and control so every trail feels like a new favourite. The Mythique cares not for your riding style or where you ride - it simply brings the fun. The downside? How long you’ll be waiting for your mates to catch up. The Mythique isn’t necessarily about the bravado of getting as rowdy and hectic as possible, although point it at something more aggressive and it’ll gladly comply. This is a trail bike that’s agile and playful without getting out of hand. Rein it in with ease or cut loose and unleash your full trail riding potential. This is consistent performance along the whole track from a bike that calmly stitches together the technical sections with balance and poise. The suspension design is a long-proven platform that better prevents pedal bounce when you’re climbing whilst also maintaining predictability under braking.
