UK designed bikes Whyte have recently unveiled this little beauty, the T-130 SCR Works fresh for 2015 to add to their range. This bike, on display at this weekend’s UK Bike show looks the part and seems to us to be good value for money at 2999GBP.

The Whyte team really have made a mark for themselves this year with a top 5 UKGE finish in Juniors for Pete Lloyd and an amazing 2nd Elite (UKGE) for Martyn Brookes plus a 5th (Mega Avalanche) and 4th (Trans Savoir) upon his Works 160.These bikes are really starting to prove their worth.

This 130mm travel 650b bike has been designed with 1×11 in mind,single ring only, symmetrical chain-stays make it stiffer, plus with a full-length pivot bearing the bearing life is now extended and the suspension performance improved. The pivot bearings now come with an amazing lifetime warranty.
