01
Origin
The Mythique is Vitus's aluminium-framed trail weapon — bringing 140mm travel and modern geometry without the carbon price premium of the Escarpe. Introduced to give riders a capable, repairable, and affordable full-suspension option that covers everything from flow trails to chunky enduro stages.
