The future’s bright: Whyte’s 2015 bikes look promising

Next year’s Whyte bikes are being transformed: single-chainring options, louder colour schemes and flashier builds. The T129 Works SCR shown here is just the beginning, sporting this lairy colour and designed for a single chainring only (hence the SCR tag). Whyte promises a stiffer ride, weatherproofed cable routing and some amazing build options — the Works SCR here will sell for around £3,000 with a Pike fork and 1x system.

  • Sleeker: New cable and hose routing runs internally and is fully waterproofed with rubber grommets at the entry points.
  • Wider: The main pivot is now 20 per cent wider than the 2x frames, so stiffer and more reliable, says Whyte.
Ditching the front mech means the chainstays can now be symmetrical, increasing mud clearance.
