Lucy Downs with her custom Saracen Myst X downhill bike build
Built around the MYST X Frameset LTD, this uncompromising downhill bike is all about delivering maximum performance, confidence, and style. Every component was carefully selected to match the MYST X’s full-throttle intent resulting in a unique build that’s ready for serious riding from day one.
From the striking finish (yes, it’s a stock colourway) to the premium kit throughout, this bike looks every bit as fast as it rides.
What went into this custom Saracen MYST build:
-
Saracen X MYST LTD Frameset - From the track to your garage, make the dream real.
- Shimano Saint groupset – fast, precise, and built for downhill abuse
- Shimano XTR M9220 brakes – uncompromising stopping power
- FOX 40 Factory fork & FOX X2 shock – fully dialled suspension, front to back
- DT Swiss FR1500 wheelset – bombproof performance with race-proven reliability
- ODI Longneck grips – maximum control where it matters most
- Vittoria Martello & Mazza tyres – trusted grip for aggressive riding
Lucy says:
“This build!!!
I still can’t believe this is my new bike - wow!
It’s crazy that this frame is a stock colour too!”
She is excited to continue her journey with Saracen this year, with the MYST X kicking off another thrilling chapter.
“I’m so grateful to be riding for Saracen again. Huge thanks for the continued support we’ve got some exciting plans for 2026.”
