Mythique 29 VRX 2023 Updates:

· Updated Geometry: The frame’s slacker headtube brings you better control on all terrains and on technical descents. Plus, the steeper seattube positions you further over the bottom bracket for more efficient climbing

· More Responsive Power Delivery: Vitus believes that the rider’s performance shouldn’t be restricted by their budget. So, the Mythique adopts the advanced design of its Sommet and Escarpe models for better climbing ability

· Full Dropper Seatpost Insertion: Vitus has taken onboard customer feedback and this updated Mythique frame now enables your dropper post to fully insert so you can shift your riding position backwards more easily

· Easy Servicing: Prioritising the use of durable, easy to source parts like a SRAM UDH derailleur hanger and utilising full external cable routing that’s easy to maintain and upgrade, this Mythique is a real riders bike.

We’ve all got our favourite trail. The go-to. 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 29 VRX 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. Dressed in reliable Shimano SLX and Deore components that include a 12-speed drivetrain, this bike is ready to ride, straight out the box.

Not to be underestimated, the Mythique has the personality of a workhorse – trustworthy and controlled – with a trail-taming capability that rolls well above its price point. It’s a bike that inspires confidence without defining your style – the flair comes from you; the bike just helps you ride that perfect line.

Powerful, Agile and Versatile Full Suspension Bike

The Mythique was developed around a proven Horst-link 4-bar suspension design, allowing Vitus to develop an accessible, capable and performance-driven trail bike. Pairing modern geometry with dependable components and a component setup that can descend as well as it climbs. Watch the smile on your face widen as the Mythique encourages you to get out on the trails and shred section by section.

Marzocchi Forks, RockShox Rear Shock and Shimano 12-Speed Groupset

Out of the box, Vitus’ top of the range Mythique 29 VRX is ready to hit your trail of choice. The 29 VRX offers 140mm of rear wheel travel, matched with buttery smooth Marzocchi Bomber Z2 forks and a RockShox Deluxe Select R rear shock to keep you planted when the trails get rough. A combination Shimano’s 1×12 wide range Deore/ SLX drivetrain provides reliable shifting for all-day epics while reliable hydraulic disc brakes provide ample stopping power.

WTB ST Wheels and Maxxis High Roller II Tubeless Ready Tyres

Rolling on WTB ST wheels and Maxxis High Roller II Tubeless Ready tyre and finished with high-quality cockpit components, you’ll have the confidence take your trail riding to the next level with the Mythique 29 VRX.

Easy Assembly

When you order a bike, one of our trained mechanics will carefully prepare and pack your bike for shipping. Upon delivery, the assembly is simple and all necessary tools and plastic pedals are conveniently included in the box.

Depending on the delivery service and destination, bikes will either be delivered in a large or a small box. Below is a guide as to how your bike will arrive:

All bikes for delivery within the UK and Republic of Ireland will be delivered in a large box, except for balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
All bikes for delivery within the EU on a standard service will be delivered in a large box. If an express delivery option is chosen, your bike will be packed into a small box. Again, the exception is balance bikes and BMX bikes, which are always delivered in manufacturer’s boxes.
All bikes for worldwide delivery outside the EU will be delivered in small boxes.
