Whyte Secta S 2025 - Next Gen Whyte hardtail!
Whether you're new to mountain biking or looking to sharpen your skills, the Whyte Secta S hardtail mountain bike delivers a confident, capable ride that helps you go further, faster, and with more control. With progressive trail geometry and Whyte’s proven hardtail frame design at its core, it’s built to handle real-world conditions with ease—from local loops to technical singletrack.
A 130mm RockShox Rekon Silver RL fork, 29in wheels with Maxxis tyres, and a Shimano CUES 1x10 drivetrain (30T x 11–48T) strike a perfect balance of control, efficiency and reliability. Hydraulic disc brakes from Tektro with 180mm rotors provide dependable stopping in all conditions, while a full-insertion TransX dropper post (with size-specific drop) adds control on the descents. Fully weatherproofed and thoughtfully specced, the Secta S is ready to ride straight from the shop floor—delivering real performance and value in a hardtail that’s built to grow with your ambitions.
Simply versatile, simply fun
Secta S has been designed to give you an exhilarating and capable experience so you can turn up the fun on any trail. By blending progressive 29er trail hardtail geometry with the geometric sweet-spot of a 130mm travel short-offset fork, specially curated components and tyre choice, we've tuned Secta S to deliver you brilliantly balanced handling, everywhere. All so you can have even more fun on the trails you love– whether going all-out up tricky climbs, full-bore down techy descents, and everywhere in between.
It’s all in the frame
Secta S’s all-new frame is fully featured and lavished with intelligent details to boost your riding: a compact seatube and plenty of stand over combines with a long-stroke, full-insertion dropper post to give you all the room to maneuverer you may need. Low-down bottle cage bosses ensure a low centre of gravity and great handling – even with the extra weight of a full water bottle – so you can corner like a boss. Add in a pair of bosses under the top-tube to carry a tool or tube; a threaded BBX63 bottom bracket shell; 12mm x 148mm Boost rear dropouts, as well as SRAM UDH compatibility and with Secta S you’re all-set.
Made to last
To ensure that living with it for the long-haul is as good an experience as riding it, we’ve loaded the Secta S with all the bad-weather-beating and practical features possible to keep it running brilliantly ride after ride. External headtube cable routing and fully sealed cable runs (with weather-sealed cable ports) ensure easy to maintain and long-lasting performance; a weather-sealed seat post collar further defends against water and muck; room to fit up to a 29x2.6in rear tyre with ample mud clearance – thanks to our big-tyre friendly Single Chain Ring frame design – gives you the option to run bigger rubber; while a custom chainstay protector guards the frame from chain slap to silence your ride.
