170 mm is the new 160 mm and the latest batch of long-travel big-hitters are just as happy attaching a number board as throwing down in the bike parks. We test the Whyte G-170 RS, their mid-range, mid-priced charger.

The new Whyte G-170 S is smooth, composed and balanced. It is easy to set-up and even easier to ride flat-out. A full-blown gravity focused race weapon.
Fast and fun in equal measure.
The BB is certainly low.
