Downhill bikes are designed for rough, steep terrain and prioritize stability and suspension over pedaling efficiency. Saracen’s latest product, the Myst downhill bike, is the result of 10 years of race development, which the brand claims to be its best downhill bike yet. The bike boasts a new frame design focused on optimizing weight distribution, brake interaction, and suspension curve, resulting in improved trail performance.
The price point of the Myst starts at £3,599 / €4,499.99, making it an attractive option for downhill enthusiasts. The Myst comes with several key features, including a lower single pivot location for improved anti-squat, a tweaked shock rate for a more supple feel, and enhanced braking performance with a floating brake arrangement.
With 211mm of rear-wheel travel and a mullet wheel setup (29 front, 27.5 rear), the Myst is built to tackle rough terrain with confidence. It is available in three sizes and offers complete builds and frameset options at an affordable price point. The Myst is a bike that offers accessibility without compromising on performance.
