In a bold move to redefine the mountain biking landscape, Whyte Bikes has unveiled three groundbreaking full-suspension models: the Sythe, Syphon, and Karve. These bikes cater to a diverse range of riders, from trail enthusiasts to enduro competitors and e-mountain bike aficionados.
Syphon: The Trail Blazer
Replacing the esteemed T-140 and T-130, the Syphon is a 29-inch trail bike that seamlessly blends performance with affordability. Priced at £2,199, it boasts a 135mm-travel aluminium frame paired with a 140mm fork, delivering a responsive and agile ride. The Syphon’s four-bar rear-suspension system, equipped with a flip chip, allows riders to adjust geometry settings to suit their preferences. Additionally, the bike offers the versatility to switch between full 29-inch wheels and a mixed-wheel setup, enhancing its adaptability across various terrains. (bikeradar.com)

This enduro-focused machine is designed to tackle the most challenging descents with confidence. Available in two configurations, the Sythe S features a Marzocchi Bomber Z1 fork and Bomber Air shock, while the Sythe RS upgrades to a RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 fork and Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2 shock. Both models maintain the Syphon’s adaptability, allowing for wheel size adjustments to suit rider preferences. (bikeradar.com)
