Whyte S-150 S 2018
Developed as a longer travel, super-capable go anywhere hard-core UK trail bike, the all-new S-150 is at home wherever you ride, from local trails to the toughest Enduro World Series stages.
The S-150 is built around a unique 150mm 29er Boost fork produced for us by RockShox with a special offset. This fork is the final piece of a complex geometry design and component spec puzzle which produces improved performance characteristics and steering feel for bigger wheels and importantly enables us to create a platform that works perfectly with both 29er wheels and the exciting new 650b x 2.8” wheels and tyre as well.
Supplied standard with 29er wheels the S-150 is punchy, fast and precise with a real sense of speed and outstanding trail feedback. Or ‘Switch’ to the option 650b x 2.8” wheels and tyres and enjoy a whole new level of cornering grip and smallbump response with previously unimaginable control - for the fastest most confidence inspiring ride we’ve ever designed.
"Exquisitely balanced suspension and geometry translate into a fast, capable yet playful package" - 5/5 MBUK
"The Whyte S-150 is the bike UK riders have been waiting for, versatile, confident, and outrageously fun to ride fast. It’s a bike that works exceptionally well, everywhere and in every way!" - ENDURO
"It’s odds-on to become the new benchmark 29er...Great geometry, sizing and suspension. Keen pricing too, given that you can still walk into a shop and sit on one" - mbr
"Whyte's S-150 Carbon RS is as up-to-the-minute as a trail bike can get. It's carbon, it has big wheels, it ticks all the long, low and slack boxes, and hey, that's wonderful, but what makes the S-150 stand out in the present long-travel trail bike mosh pit can only be experienced by riding it. It pedals, steers and handles less like a bicycle and more like you have zipped on a mountain bike super power suit. In less flowery language: "For sale: 150-millimeter-travel dual-suspension 29er that will make you beg to ride every day. Needs nothing" - Pinkbike
"Whyte has done a great job with the suspension, stiffness and geometry. It’s a fast, fun and responsive trail shredder that should suit riders who want a bike that balances agility with stability, and efficiency with comfort"- Bike Radar
Latest generation Whyte geometry, 150mm of travel and 29er wheels make this trail bike fast and controllable in every situation. A wide main pivot with oversize hardware is a perfect way to get the power down.
The S-150 was built unashamedly around the SRAM Eagle concept. With Eagle tech now available at GX level the S-150 S makes the most of the huge 500% gear range - both in the speed it climbs and the ability to get pedal strokes in, as well as a big top gear for the descents.
S stands for Switch - the ability to fit 650b wheels with 2.8" tyres and still have UK levels mud clearance. Whyte wheel kits are ready to switch into your bike in the time it takes to go back to your car and change the Eagle cassette.
