Whyte Sythe RS - Chilli Red

Season:2026

Brand:Whyte Bikes

Code:WTSYTHERSCR

Master any terrain
Built to go full gas when the trail gets steep, fast and unforgiving, Sythe RS is made for riders who never hold back. Progressive, proportionally-sized geometry and premium Quad-Link 4 suspension deliver exceptional stability and control through rough terrain, big hits and high-speed lines, while balanced handling keeps it precise when trails tighten up. Efficient enough to earn every descent and tough enough for year-round abuse, Sythe RS is a hard-charging enduro bike that stays composed when things get wild and encourages you to push harder every ride.

Highlights
– 170mm front + 160mm rear of Whyte custom-tuned suspension travel (RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 29in fork + RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate RC2 rear shock).
– 6061 hydroformed T6 multi-butted alloy frame + geometry adjustment.
– Proportional sizing delivers perfect fit and uncompromised handling for every rider.
– SRAM Eagle S-100 1x12 transmission (30T chainring x 10-52T cassette).
– TRP EVO Expert four-piston hydraulic disc brakes (203mm rotors front + rear).
– Full-insertion dropper post (with frame size size-specific drop).
– MX/mixed/’mullet’ wheels (29in front, 27.5in rear) + Schwalbe Magic Mary Radial tyres (ready to be converted to full 29in front and rear (sizes M, L + XL only)).

Ideal for...Gravity thrill seekers, enduro racers, bike-park shredders and big mountain riders looking for the best descending performance in a long-lasting alloy package.

Perfect fit and handling

Sythe RS benefits from proportional sizing throughout the range, with specifically tuned dimensions, geometry, and front- and rear-centres designed to deliver balanced handling and uncompromised gravity
performance for every rider. By refining fit, weight distribution and ride dynamics for each frame size, Sythe RS stays planted, stable and predictable when trails get steep, rough and fast — delivering greater control, more confidence and a composed ride feel whether charging bike park laps, technical descents or full-gas enduro stages.

Switch it up

Our Shape.It Link flip-chip lets you fine-tune the Sythe RS to match your riding style and terrain. Switch between the high and low settings to adjust geometry, slackening the head angle by 0.6 degrees and lowering the bottom bracket by 8mm in the low position. For maximum stability and a planted feel on steep, fast bike park laps and technical descents, run it low. Want a more responsive, efficient set-up for longer rides and big days in the hills? Keep it in the higher position for improved pedal clearance and all-day versatility.

Go fast, go fun

Want to carry even more speed through rough terrain and high-speed lines? Our Shape.It link lets you convert Sythe RS from its stock MX wheel set-up (mixed/'mullet' (29in front, 27.5in rear wheel) to a full 29er configuration (29in wheels front + rear) for maximum rollover performance and stability. Simply swap the stock Shape.It link for the 29er-specific version (58-62mm; WAMLINK08), together with a suitable category 4-rated 29in rear wheel, to retain full geometry adjustment between the high and low settings. The result is a faster, more planted ride feel built for charging through rock gardens, blown-out tracks and demanding enduro terrain. Please note: full 29er conversion is only possible on size M, L + XL frames only – not on size S.

Built to last

The Sythe RS alloy frame is built to handle full seasons of hard riding, whatever the weather. Weather-sealed cable ports, hose routing and seat clamp help keep water and grit out, while generous tyre clearance prevents mud build-up when conditions turn bad. Robust chainstay and downtube protection silence trail chatter and fend off rock strikes, and phosphate-coated, marine grease-packed pivot bearings are designed to keep performing through relentless wet-weather abuse. Add our lifetime extended frame and pivot bearing warranties* for extra peace of mind, and the Sythe RS is ready for years of bike park laps, enduro stages and all-weather riding. Plus, if you want to run a chainguide for extra security, Sythe RS's ISCG tabs are ready. Just add our WMCG1 chainguide. Free for the original owner. Learn more at whytebikes.com/warranty.
