Today we’re going to take a look at what bikes British brand Whyte Bikes will be bringing along. 

Road

From its road bike range Whyte will be bringing along two key models, the Wessex and Gisburn. 

• Whyte Wessex (£2,250) 52/54/56/58
• Whyte Gisburn (£1,999) 54/56    

The Wessex is one of the most interesting new bikes to be released in the last year, a carbon fibre disc-equipped endurance bike that scooped two awards in road.cc's Bike of the Year 2016-17 back in January, in both the sportive/endurance and commuter categories. 

- Review: Whyte Wessex

It’s a modern road bike, with wide tyre clearance, disc brakes, thru-axles and mudguard mounts, and the company has even made its very own mudguards that fit perfectly on the frame. On-trend wide rims make the most of the benefits of wide tyres and they’re tubeless as well to avert dreaded punctures. 

Gravel and adventure riding is taken care off by the Gisburn, an aluminium model with geometry and components inspired by the company’s mountain bike range. Wide tyre clearance, disc brakes, thru-axles and a SRAM 1x11 drivetrain feature on hits two grand model.

Mountain bikes

Bike LIVE will also be hosting a mountain bike demo day with sister site off-road.cc, and you’ll be able to ride the following Whyte mountain bikes if you’re in the market for a new mountain bike.
