Product Information

Full details

The Vitus Mythique Mountain Bike is designed for trail riders seeking consistent performance and confidence on familiar and new trails. Its key benefit is delivering agile, playful handling that builds rider confidence without becoming unruly, making every trail feel like a favorite. A potential caveat is that its focus on balanced fun means it might not appeal to riders solely seeking the most aggressive, rowdy riding experience, though it can certainly handle challenging terrain. The Mythique offers 140mm of travel, a proven suspension platform that minimizes pedal bob and braking squat, and components like a Rockshox fork, tubeless-ready Maxxis tires, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, and a KS dropper post for enhanced control and enjoyment.

FAQs

What is the recommended rider height for each frame size?

Frame size recommendations are typically based on inseam and overall height. Consult the manufacturer's size chart for specific Vitus Mythique sizing guidance, as it varies by rider proportions.

Can I upgrade the drivetrain to a higher speed system?

Yes, the UDH hanger provides compatibility with many modern drivetrains. Ensure any new derailleur, shifter, and cassette are compatible with each other and the chain.

What type of pedals are recommended?

The bike comes with standard 9/16" pedal threads. Flat pedals are popular for trail riding for ease of use and safety, while clipless pedals offer a more direct connection for pedaling efficiency. Choose based on your riding preference.

How do I set the sag on the suspension?

Sag is the amount the suspension compresses under rider weight. For the fork, measure the travel when sitting on the bike. For the rear shock, use the included O-ring on the stanchion. Aim for approximately 20-25% sag for trail riding.

What is the maximum tire clearance?

The bike is equipped with 2.4"-2.5" tires. While exact maximum clearance can vary, the Boost spacing and frame design generally accommodate modern wide trail tires.

Does the bike come with pedals?

Typically, bikes in this category are sold without pedals to allow riders to choose their preferred type. Please check the specific product listing or contact customer support for confirmation.

What is the warranty period for the Vitus Mythique?

Vitus typically offers a warranty on their frames and components. Refer to the official Vitus warranty documentation for specific terms, duration, and coverage details.

Troubleshooting

Bike won't shift into all gears

Check rear derailleur hanger alignment. Ensure the derailleur cable is not frayed or kinked. Adjust derailleur limit screws and cable tension according to Shimano's specifications.

Brakes feel spongy or weak

The hydraulic brake system may need to be bled to remove air. Check brake pad and rotor condition for wear or contamination. Ensure rotor size is appropriate for the brake levers.

Dropper post is slow to return or doesn't extend fully

Check for dirt or debris in the seatpost mechanism. Ensure the cable is properly tensioned and not binding. If the issue persists, the dropper post may require service or internal lubrication.

Excessive noise or creaking from the bike

Identify the source of the noise. Common culprits include the bottom bracket, headset, pedals, seatpost clamp, or suspension pivot points. Clean and re-grease relevant areas, or consult a mechanic if the source is unclear.

Front fork feels harsh or doesn't use full travel

Verify correct suspension sag has been set. Ensure rebound and compression damping settings are appropriate for your riding style and terrain. Check for any obstructions or damage to the fork stanchions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Agile and playful handling that builds rider confidence.
Effective suspension design that minimizes pedal bob and braking squat.
Reliable component selection for consistent performance.
Tubeless-ready setup for improved grip and reduced flat risk.
Versatile enough to handle varied trail conditions.

Cons

May not be the first choice for riders exclusively seeking the most aggressive downhill performance.
1x10 drivetrain offers a good range but may be less versatile than higher-speed options for some riders.
Alloy components might be heavier than their carbon counterparts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Upon receiving the Vitus Mythique, it is recommended to have it assembled and inspected by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Key adjustments include setting tire pressure to your preference (lower for more grip, higher for less rolling resistance), adjusting suspension sag for the front fork and rear shock based on your weight, and ensuring the saddle height is correctly set using the KS dropper post. Familiarize yourself with the operation of the dropper post remote.

Compatibility: The frame features UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) for compatibility with modern drivetrains. It uses Boost spacing (110x15mm front, 148x12mm rear) for increased wheel stiffness and tire clearance. The bottom bracket is BSA threaded, a common standard.

Care: Regularly clean your bike after rides, especially in wet or muddy conditions. Use mild soap and water, avoiding high-pressure washers that can force water into bearings. Keep the drivetrain clean and lubricated. Check tire pressure before each ride. Periodically inspect brake pads and rotors for wear, and have hydraulic brake systems serviced as needed. Suspension service should be performed according to Rockshox's recommended intervals for optimal performance and longevity. Store the bike in a dry place when not in use.
