Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Review: 2019 Whyte S-120C - A Long and Slack Short-Travel Trail Bike

Mar 2019 · Mike Kazimer

The S-120C is one of the longest and slackest 120mm bikes on the market.

Highs
  • Smooth, calm descender

  • Excellent suspension performance

  • Well spec'd for the price

Lows
  • Seat angle could be steeper to match long reach

  • On the heavier side of things for a 120mm bike

  • Not the liveliest climber
