Troubleshooting

Bike is making unusual noises

Check that all bolts are tightened, especially headset, stem, and cranks. Inspect the drivetrain for worn components or debris. Listen closely to pinpoint the source of the noise.

Brakes feel weak or spongy

Check brake pad wear. If pads are fine, the hydraulic system may need bleeding to remove air bubbles. Ensure rotors are clean and free from contamination.

Gears are not shifting smoothly

Check derailleur alignment and cable tension. Ensure the derailleur hanger is straight. Clean and lubricate the chain and shifter cables.

Dropper post is not moving smoothly or fully

Ensure the cable is properly connected and tensioned. Check for any obstructions in the seat tube. Refer to the KS dropper post manual for specific troubleshooting.

Tubeless tires are not holding air

Ensure sufficient sealant is present. Check that the rim tape is properly sealed and that the tire bead is seated correctly. Inspect the tire for any punctures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Agile and playful handling for an engaging ride.
Confidence-inspiring capability across various trails.
Reliable component selection for consistent performance.
Tubeless setup offers improved grip and fewer flats.
Dropper post enhances control during descents and climbs.

Cons

May not be the first choice for riders exclusively focused on extreme downhill riding.
The 1x10 drivetrain, while reliable, offers a less wide gear range than some higher-end 1x11 or 1x12 systems.
Component specifications are focused on value and reliability, not top-tier performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Upon receiving the Vitus Mythique, a professional bike shop assembly is recommended to ensure all components are correctly installed and adjusted. This typically includes fitting the handlebars, stem, pedals (not included), and setting up the brakes and gears. The dropper post will also need to be connected and adjusted.

Compatibility:

Tires: The rims are tubeless-ready. Ensure you use tubeless sealant and tape for optimal performance. Tire clearance is designed for the included Maxxis Minion DHF (2.5") and Forekaster (2.4") tires. For wider tires, check manufacturer specifications.
Drivetrain: The bike uses a UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger), offering broad compatibility with Shimano 10-speed systems.
Brakes: Features post-mount for the rear brake and standard fork mounts for the front. Rotor sizes are 203mm front and 180mm rear.

Care:

Cleaning: Regularly clean the bike after muddy or dusty rides using water and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on bearings.
Drivetrain: Keep the chain clean and lubricated. Periodically check for wear on the chain, cassette, and chainring.
Brakes: Inspect brake pads for wear and ensure hydraulic lines are free from leaks. Bleed the brakes if performance diminishes.
Suspension: Follow RockShox's recommended service intervals for the fork and rear shock to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
Tires: Check tire pressure before each ride. Inspect for any cuts or damage.
