Designed for riders who push their limits on demanding trails, the Whyte Sythe S V1-1 delivers the confidence, control and durability needed for aggressive enduro and gravity riding. Finished in striking Sapphire Blue, this capable full suspension mountain bike combines modern geometry with dependable components to create a bike that's as comfortable on technical descents as it is climbing back to the top.
At the heart of the bike is a hydroformed 6061 aluminium frame featuring Whyte's proven Quad-Link 4 suspension platform. With 170mm of travel up front and 160mm at the rear, the Sythe S absorbs rough terrain with ease while maintaining excellent pedalling efficiency. Whyte's proportional geometry ensures every frame size delivers balanced handling, helping riders stay stable and composed through rock gardens, steep chutes and high-speed descents.
Suspension duties are handled by a Marzocchi Bomber Z1 fork paired with a Marzocchi Bomber Air piggyback rear shock, offering a plush, controlled ride over technical terrain. Shimano's Deore 1x12-speed drivetrain provides crisp, reliable shifting across a wide gear range, while powerful TRP EVO Comp four-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203mm rotors inspire confidence when the trail gets steep.
The MX wheel configuration pairs a 29-inch front wheel for superior rollover and stability with a 27.5-inch rear wheel for increased agility and clearance on steep descents. Schwalbe Magic Mary Radial tyres deliver exceptional grip in loose, rocky and muddy conditions, while the full-insertion dropper post allows complete freedom of movement when descending. Medium, Large and Extra Large frame sizes can also be converted to a full 29-inch setup using Whyte's Shape.It Link system.
Built to withstand year-round UK riding, the Sythe S features weather-sealed cable ports, protected frame bearings, integrated frame protection and generous mud clearance to keep maintenance low and reliability high, whatever the conditions.
