Hi folks

I’m looking to get my 12 year old son his first full suspension MTB (he’s previously had hard tails but wants a FS to unlock his inner gnnaaarrrr 😀)

I’m currently thinking the Vitus Mythique could be the best value light(ish) weight FS with modern geometry etc and that a small adult size would fit (at least for a couple of years)

Has anyone had any experience or got an ideas for alternatives?

Thanks Woody71

If only there was a magazine that had just done a test of sub 2K FS bikes 😉

Spoiler alert - according to the STW review it is a very good starter bike.
