Today we’re going to take a look at what bikes British brand Whyte Bikes will be bringing along.
Road
From its road bike range Whyte will be bringing along two key models, the Wessex and Gisburn.
- Whyte Wessex (£2,250) 52/54/56/58
- Whyte Gisburn (£1,999) 54/56
The Wessex is one of the most interesting new bikes to be released in the last year, a carbon fibre disc-equipped endurance bike that scooped two awards in road.cc's Bike of the Year 2016-17 back in January, in both the sportive/endurance and commuter categories.
- Review: Whyte Wessex
It’s a modern road bike, with wide tyre clearance, disc brakes, thru-axles and mudguard mounts, and the company has even made its very own mudguards that fit perfectly on the frame. On-trend wide rims make the most of the benefits of wide tyres and they’re tubeless as well to avert dreaded punctures.
Gravel and adventure riding is taken care off by the Gisburn, an aluminium model with geometry and components inspired by the company’s mountain bike range. Wide tyre clearance, disc brakes, thru-axles and a SRAM 1x11 drivetrain feature on hits two grand model.

What fool pays £20 to be sold a bike?
Somebody that doesn't want to spend two grand buying the wrong bike but is willing to invest a little money in trying out a number of potential purchases in real world conditions.
Seems pretty sensible to me.
But then I would say that.
We won't put you down for a ticket then?
