Whyte Secta R 2026

Hardtail Mountain Bike

The Whyte Secta R 2026 is built for riders who want to hit the trails with confidence, control and value in mind. Sharing the same frame as the acclaimed Secta RS, this trail-ready hardtail delivers a fun, balanced and capable ride straight out of the box. Designed to inspire confidence on technical descents and efficient climbing on steep trails, the Secta R offers unbeatable trail performance for the money.

Featuring a fully equipped 6061 T6 aluminium frame, 130mm SR Suntour suspension fork, and a TransX dropper post for on-the-fly saddle adjustment, this is a bike made for real-world riding. The 29er wheels and Maxxis tyres roll smoothly and confidently, while the Shimano CUES 1×9 drivetrain and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable, all-weather control.

Built to handle everything from trail centre loops to natural singletrack, the Whyte Secta R is all about unlocking more fun on every ride – and keeping more money in your pocket.

Durable, Low-Maintenance Design
