Whyte T-130 S review - MBR

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 SR review

Dec 2018 · Guy Kesteven

Heavy, with limp brakes, but brilliant handling and sorted suspension give it the aggro win. Buy if you don't want to go direct but still want a bargain

Highs
  • Outstanding flat-out handling and frame stiffness

  • Excellent ready-to-ride suspension balance

  • Local bike shop sales, set-up and servicing gains

  • Great value compared to other shop-sold bikes

Lows
  • High overall and wheel weight

  • TRP brakes lack power and consistent control

May 2018 · Christoph Bayer

Since we reviewed the Whyte T-130 S in Scotland eight months ago, nothing has changed apart from Whyte Bikes’ step to finally open up their distribution in Germany. Reason enough to include the T-130 S in this group test.
