Hi
trying to help a pal out with his new Rail 9 , standard Zebs fitted up front . Out the box there far to stiff , giving hardly any feedback and front end grip. Not sure on pressure but it’s how it came
He’s around 80kg 12.5 -13 stone.
I’ve read pressure wants to be closer to 60 psi ...
Thanks for the info.
The reason I ask is I’ve also had a mullet bike but want a new Whyte E and haven’t had a full time 29 or 27.5 and don’t want to spend out anything on changing it if I can get one out the box that’s great as it is ⚡️
interesting that you now prefer the 29 inch wheels after owning it…. Have you tried both bikes ? Do you think the 29’er wheels are noticeably faster and smoother over the ruff stuff ? ……. If you could swap now you’ve owned it for a while for a 160rs would you ?? ….?♀️
Hi people
Ok anyone ridden both or bought one and wished they went for the other ?….
If you had to choose now between the 2022 E150rs 29’er and E160rs 27.5’ which would you choose for general all round riding in the U.K. ….. mainly natural forest trails, small bike parks and big smiles …..?♀️
Title says it in a nut shell …..
Who prefers which and why ? I get the whole mullet set up but that’s sitting on the fence for this question IMO…..
Recently I was looking at a Whyte E160rs vs E150rs …. And get a really mixed bag of opinions as to which would be best in an all round situation…...
Dam these Nukes have been popular they’ve basically sold out of Elites already !! I’ve ended up with 2 ! Long story but I have an XL on route and Large that’s going back unused obviously if anyone is looking for a large elite pm me before it’s sent back
Not saying cable routing isn’t something to consider but given all the reviews I’ve seen that say just how good this bike is it seems a valid point to take into account but I can’t believe anyone would be that bothered that they wouldn’t buy / ride one because of it !!! I think most bikes have...
Have a scout around if your quick you might find one , depending on spec Rourke have a large on the comp. Instagram is a good place to look as a lot of bike shops seem to post pics, I got super lucky yesterday and got a cracking deal
I have one on route, got offered a great deal and with ace spec I’ve gone for the Elite over a Whyte 160rs, I like the Whyte but not that keen on the looks and really fancied something different and new ?184cm so went for a large in the hope it fits as I didn’t want the XL and have that big bike...
Thanks guys after a lot of back and forth etc
I couldn’t decide and then found it difficult finding stock after one bike sold …. So in a last minute change of heart and Leap of faith I’ve got a new Megawatt Elite on its way ! Hopefully it’s just what I’m after
Thanks guys for all the help

Have decided definitely to go for a Whyte this week ! Just very torn between 150 and 160 both RS models ….. 29vs27.5 and obviously Rockshox vs Fox….. my pal who’s certainly pretty experienced with riding in the U.K. and Ebikes recons 150 - 29’er all day but I’m just not 100% sure, having had the...
Hi Whyte people
Sorry if this is an annoying question as I get it’s all personal preference etc…… but lol
I’m looking for a new bike and still can’t make up my mind to go for a 150 or 160 obviously 27.5 vs 29 and spec to choose from S vs RS and £
I plan to ride a mix of single track mainly and...
Keen to see what bikes people who know there onions would pick for a good allrounder for the U.K. , single track , forest trails and bike parks….
Obviously stock is an issue but with that in mind what would you choose ….. 27.5 vs 29’……
