Vitus Mythique 27 VR Mountain Bike

Building on its award-winning heritage, the new generation of Mythique is a performance focused aluminium trail bike. It's an ideal all-rounder, with each model boasting carefully selected components that blend perfectly for maximum trail-blurring fun.

Mythique 27 VR 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.

Modern Geometry and Superb Components

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 27 VR 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 will 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. Furnished with proven Shimano Deore components that include a 10-speed drivetrain, this bike is ready to ride, straight out of 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.

Shimano 1x10-Speed Drivetrain and X-Fusion Suspension

The Mythique 27 VR is ready to hit your trail of choice. It comes with 130mm rear wheel travel, matched with X-Fusion suspension forks to keep you planted when the trails get rough. Shimano's 1x10 wide range Deore drivetrain provides reliable shifting for all-day epics while the Shimano MT401 brakes provide ample stopping power.

Rolling on WTB ST i30 wheels wrapped in Maxxis High Roller II Tubeless Ready tyre combo and it features a Brand-X Ascend dropper seatpost. This bike gives you the confidence to take your trail riding to the next level.
