Whyte 2024 bikes

[Hobo Mikey]

Got a email from Whyte a couple of days ago about the new 2024 range. The new E Lyte carbon bikes etc. looking good.
Dont know how to post a link sorry.

There is already a link on the homepage of this very forum Mike ..
I'm not really into a " Lyte "version of any ebike tbh( although I love the whyte brand) ..and wouldn't swap my e160rs for any other bike .
They have also seriously slashed their range devoting more to ebikes than non assisted mtb's..

Oh yea, I see it now. I knew you were so clever.
same here mate about the lyte, I actually like the weight of mine and find it an advantage on the fast flowing single track.

Leaving a side the top of the range XC model...............which is a ridiculous price anyway!............I really do not get these so called "light" bikes unless your riding only consists of fairly tame trails. On most of them, if you put a decent set of tyres on them and a beafier set of forks ...oh, and a range extender.........you end up only a couple of kg from a bike with full power and much larger range. Personally I am no fan of carbon frames on a mountain bike either so whilst I rate Whyte bikes, the Lyte does not excite me. That said, I suppose Whyte had to add one to its range. Now a 85nm/750 battery Whyte enduro bike with decent forks and tyres etc at less than 20kg would be something!!
