How it compares
On travel, the Vitus E-Mythique LT is right where the “e-enduro bike” category usually is: 160–170 mm up front against a median of 170 mm from 56 bikes. Within Vitus’s e-mountain bikes, it sits between the Vitus E-Escarpe and the Vitus E-Sommet on travel. The frame is made of aluminium.
Depending on the build, fork and shock come from RockShox and SR Suntour. In total, 2 different forks are used, from the SR Suntour Zeron36 Boost EQ to the SR Suntour Durolux36 Boost EQ. It is powered by Bafang M510 with a 630 Wh battery.
Setup notes for this spec
- Rebound: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Air shock (RockShox Deluxe Select R): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
- e-MTB: because of the extra weight, start with slightly more tyre pressure – the surcharge is already built into the table below.
Target SAG for the Vitus E-Mythique LT
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Vitus take priority.
160 mm fork, 65.0 mm shock stroke (297 VR)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 27 mm | 24 % = 15.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 32 mm | 28 % = 18.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 35 mm | 30 % = 19.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 32 mm | 27 % = 17.6 mm on the shock shaft |
170 mm fork, 65.0 mm shock stroke (297 VRS)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm | 24 % = 15.6 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm | 28 % = 18.2 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm | 30 % = 19.5 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm | 27 % = 17.6 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
Basis: 2.50″ tyre width, tubeless, trail casing, including the e-MTB surcharge. If you run tubes, add about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi); with an insert, about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less is enough. Stock tyres: Vee Tire Co. Attack HPL / Vee Tire Co. Attack HPL.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.48 bar (21 psi) | 1.68 bar (24 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.60 bar (23 psi) | 1.80 bar (26 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.72 bar (25 psi) | 1.92 bar (28 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.84 bar (27 psi) | 2.04 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 1.96 bar (28 psi) | 2.16 bar (31 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.08 bar (30 psi) | 2.28 bar (33 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.20 bar (32 psi) | 2.40 bar (35 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
