WhyteT-160 RS

01
Origin
The T-160 sits at the top of Whyte's alloy trail range, bridging trail bike comfort with enduro-level capability. First released in 2016 and refined across multiple versions, the T-160 earned BikeRadar and MBUK Trail Bike of the Year awards — unusual acclaim for a British brand competing against much larger manufacturers. The 2024 iteration runs RockShox's top-tier Lyrik Ultimate fork and Super Deluxe Ultimate shock, SRAM's wireless GX Eagle AXS drivetrain, and the brand's own Shape.it geometry chip.
