Suspension

The Sythe RS uses 170 mm front and 160 mm rear travel to handle steep, rough and technical terrain. The RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 fork gives precise control and strong support, while the Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2 shock keeps the rear end stable on long descents. The suspension is tuned for grip, confidence and predictable handling at speed.

Frame and Geometry

The 6061 T6 alloy frame is strong, stiff and built for hard riding. Proportional sizing keeps the handling balanced across all frame sizes. A geometry adjustment chip lets you fine tune the ride for steep tracks or bike park laps. The UDH dropout adds compatibility and easier replacement.

Wheels and Tyres

The MX setup uses a 29 in front wheel for stability and rollover, paired with a 27.5 in rear wheel for agility and quick direction changes. Schwalbe Magic Mary Radial tyres give strong grip in loose and rough conditions. The frame is also ready for a full 29 in wheel setup if you want to change the feel.

Braking and Drivetrain

TRP EVO Expert four piston brakes with 203 mm rotors give consistent stopping power on long descents. The SRAM S 100 Eagle 1×12 drivetrain is simple, reliable and easy to maintain, with a wide range for climbing and descending.

Dropper Post

A full insertion dropper post with size specific drop helps you stay low and in control on steep terrain. The frame design allows full insertion for a clean setup and maximum drop.

Who It Is For

The Whyte Sythe RS suits gravity riders, enduro racers and bike park riders who want the best descending performance in a long lasting alloy frame. It is built for steep tracks, rough terrain and big mountain riding, with geometry and components that support aggressive riding styles.
