Product Information

Full details

The Vitus Mythique Mountain Bike is designed for trail riders seeking a fun, confidence-inspiring, and capable bike for all-around trail use. Its key benefit is delivering a playful and agile ride that excels on familiar trails while still handling more aggressive terrain.

FAQs

What is the recommended tire pressure for the Maxxis Minion DHF/Forekaster tires?

Recommended tire pressure varies based on rider weight, terrain, and whether the tires are run tubeless. A good starting point for tubeless setup is typically between 20-30 PSI. Consult Maxxis's website or a local bike shop for specific recommendations.

Can I upgrade the drivetrain to a 1x11 or 1x12 speed system?

Yes, the UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) and Boost spacing allow for compatibility with many 11 and 12-speed drivetrains. Ensure compatibility of the shifter, derailleur, and cassette.

What size dropper post is included?

The included KS dropper post specifications (e.g., diameter and travel) are typically listed on the product's detailed specification sheet. For exact details, refer to the full bike specifications.

How do I adjust the suspension sag?

Sag is adjusted by changing the air pressure in the fork and rear shock. Refer to the Rockshox manuals for specific instructions on setting sag for the Recon RL fork and Deluxe Select shock, usually aiming for 20-25% sag for trail riding.

Is this bike suitable for bike park riding?

While the Vitus Mythique can handle more aggressive terrain, its primary design is for trail riding. For frequent bike park use with heavy jumps and drops, a bike with more travel and downhill-specific geometry might be more suitable.

What kind of riding is the Vitus Mythique best suited for?

The Vitus Mythique is best suited for general trail riding, including cross-country, all-mountain, and flow trails. It excels at providing a fun and engaging experience on varied terrain.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel weak or spongy

Brakes may need bleeding. Check for fluid leaks. Ensure brake pads and rotors are clean and free of contamination.

Gears are not shifting smoothly

Check derailleur hanger alignment. Ensure the gear cable is not frayed or damaged. Re-index the gears according to Shimano's specifications. Clean the drivetrain.

Dropper post is not extending or retracting properly

Check the cable tension. Ensure the dropper post is clean and free of debris. Refer to the KS dropper post manual for specific troubleshooting steps, which may include basic servicing or air pressure checks.

Suspension feels harsh or bottoms out easily

Adjust suspension air pressure based on rider weight and terrain. Consult the Rockshox manuals for recommended sag settings and damping adjustments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Confidence-inspiring geometry for trail riding.
Agile and playful handling characteristics.
Versatile performance across different trail types.
Reliable components for consistent performance.
Comfortable ride with effective suspension.
Value for money in the trail bike category.

Cons

May not be the first choice for highly aggressive downhill or enduro riding.
The 1x10 drivetrain, while capable, might be less ideal for riders needing extremely low climbing gears on very steep ascents.
Focus on consistent trail performance might not appeal to riders seeking a highly specialized downhill machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: Upon receiving the Vitus Mythique, it's recommended to have a qualified bike mechanic perform a full setup. This includes proper suspension air pressure tuning based on rider weight, brake adjustments, and gear indexing. Ensure the wheels are securely fastened and the dropper post is functioning smoothly.

Compatibility: The frame features UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) for broad compatibility with modern drivetrains. It uses Boost spacing (12x110mm front, 12x148mm rear) for wheel hubs. The internal dropper routing accommodates most standard dropper seatposts.

Care and Maintenance: Regularly clean the bike after rides, especially the drivetrain and suspension components, to prolong their life. Check tire pressure before each ride. Periodically inspect brake pads for wear and ensure rotors are clean. Follow manufacturer recommendations for suspension servicing (typically annually or after a set number of riding hours). Lubricate the chain as needed.
