The Vitus Kids’ Mythique: Not Your Average Kids’ Bike

Introducing an all new full-suspension kids’ bike based on the award-winning Mythique adult bikes.

(Belfast, Northern Ireland — September 28, 2023) Kids shred hard — sometimes, harder than their parents – so we set out to build a kids’ mountain bike that would meet their match.

Introducing the all-new Kids’ Mythique, a full suspension mountain bike designed to be just as capable and confidence-inspiring as its adult-sized namesake, the award- winning Mythique.

The 24-inch bike comes with a 120mm Manitou Junit Expert air fork and 120mm X-Fusion O2 Pro R air shock, while the 26-inch bike comes with a 130mm SR Suntour Radon34 fork and 120mm X-Fusion O2 Pro R air shock. We essentially started with the alloy frame of the adult-size Mythique and shrunk it down to be suitable for a smaller human, meaning your budding shredder can expect the same poise, playfulness, and durability that’s made the Mythique one of the most popular bikes in our lineup.

Kids’ Mythique 24, £1599.99

• Full-Suspension frame with aggressive geometry tailored specificly to youth riders
• Manitou and X-Fusion suspension providing 120mm of trail taming travel

Kids’ Mythique 26, £1599.99

• Full-Suspension frame with aggressive geometry tailored specificly to youth riders
• SR Suntour and X-Fusion suspension providing 120mm of trail taming travel
• Box Four 1 x 8 speed wide range drivetrain
• Hydraulic disc brakes for confidence inspiring stopping power

It’s also built using many of the same features — it’s got routing for a dropper post, uses a Universal Derailleur Hanger, has Boost rear hub spacing, and sports proper-sized thru-axles, among other things. Like its adult-sized sibling, we’ve paid close attention to the component package and the design of the bike, striking a sweet spot that balances performance, durability, and cost.

A step up from the average kids’ bike; the Kids’ Mythique is built to blitz trail, push boundaries, and foster progression in the next generation of mountain bikers.
