Mythique 29 VRS Mountain components
Fork
The Mythique 29 VRS Mountain comes factory-installed with the RockShox 35 Silver fork. This has a travel range of 140mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In conclusion, always look for a fork with decent travel when you buy a bike.
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is RockShox Deluxe Select R, with a travel distance of 140mm. Rear shocks improve riding comfort and give you greater control over all terrains. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Mythique 29 VRS Mountain model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, these wheels are not ideal for smaller people.
Brakes
We ride faster and faster, so a good braking system is essential on a bike nowadays. The Mythique 29 VRS Mountain comes with Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
Mythique 29 VRS Mountain comes in 4 sizes, that range from 157 cm – 200 cm (5.15 ft – 6.56 ft). In conclusion, finding one for you shouldn’t be a problem.
Dropper post
A dropper post is included with the Mythique 29 VRS Mountain. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
