Whyte Sythe RS 2027
The Whyte Sythe RS represents the pinnacle of the Sythe range, designed specifically for enduro racers and big mountain riders who refuse to compromise on descending authority. By upgrading to a flagship specification, the RS model features high-performance RockShox suspension providing 170mm of front and 160mm of rear travel, ensuring precision tuning and maximum control through the most technical rock gardens. The hydroformed 6061 T6 alloy frame remains the backbone of the build, offering the durability needed for heavy bike-park use.

This premium build prioritizes elite-level damping and responsiveness, utilizing RockShox's advanced internals to keep the wheels glued to the trail during high-speed efforts. The proportional sizing ensures that the weight distribution remains optimal across all frame sizes, while the integrated geometry adjustment allows you to slacken or steepen the bike to match the day's objective. It is a machine built for those who push their equipment to the limit and expect absolute consistency in every corner and drop-in.

Equipped with an MX (mixed) wheel setup for razor-sharp cornering, the Sythe RS utilizes a 29in front wheel for stability and a 27.5in rear wheel for agility, while remaining fully compatible with a dual 29in configuration for riders in the M-XL size range. The addition of high-performance Schwalbe Magic Mary Radial tyres provides the predictable, aggressive traction required for podium-chasing efforts or high-stakes mountain missions. For the rider who wants a top-tier alloy gravity bike that balances bombproof reliability with premium RockShox performance, the Sythe RS is the definitive choice.
