Apr 2019 · Alan Muldoon

It's easy to quickly glance at the 2019 Whyte T-130 S and assume it’s the same as last year’s bike, albeit with fatter 2.6in tyres and a 140mm travel fork.

Whyte T-130 C Works review

Jan 2016 · Rob Weaver

A seriously capable, well balanced bike that encourages you to give it a proper thrashing every time you hit the trail. Buy if you're feeling spendy and want to get astride the state of the 2016 short-travel art

Highs
  • Great geometry makes you want to ride on the limit

  • Balanced suspension

  • Frame is taut and efficient under power

  • Stiff carbon wheels

Lows
  • Low-profile rear tyre will struggle if you ride natural trails
