Only $1,999 and Ready for Serious Mountain Biking - Vitus Mythique 29 VRX Review

We were very pleased with the capability of the $1,999 Vitus Mythique VRX 29 mountain bike. We could tell by the spec sheet that the parts were up to the task for the price, but on the trail, the geometry and suspension performance matched the able-bodied build. With 140mm of travel front and rear, solid Marzocchi Z2 fork and grippy Schwalbe tires, the bike is a great choice for riders who don't need assistance from a local bike shop. We wish the seat tube allowed for deeper post insertion, but other than that, we were satisfied. If you're willing to buy a bike online, sight-unseen, assemble it and maintain it yourself, you won't be disappointed in the Vitus.

Best gravity-oriented performance in our test
Marzocchi Z2 fork, Shimano MT501 brakes and Schwalbe tires are great spec at this price point
Solid climbing ability with best engaging rear hub in test
Surprisingly light for the build at 32 pounds 1 ounce
Seat post insertion depth was shorter than we'd like
