Discover Secta
Versatile. Capable. Affordable.
Secta balances efficient pedalling and climbing performance with the capability and confidence to master everything you point it at.
All so you can go fast, go far and go fun.
Ready for a range of trails
Secta’s ready for wherever you may go: from cross-country trails to steep and technical descents, and everything in between.
Swift and efficient
Direct power transfer from your every pedal stroke helps propel you along and up smooth trails more efficiently than a full suspension bike, and the overall lighter weight gives you faster acceleration, too.
Thrive everywhere
We’ve pored everything we know about making confidence-inspiring hardtails into Secta to give you the most capable and exhilarating ride experience possible.
Quality for money
Secta gives you real-world trail performance and reliability, with a fully-featured frame and intelligently selected parts that perform from your first pedal stroke and won’t let you down – or break the bank.
Simply low maintenance
With fewer moving parts than a full suspension bike and a host of practical design features to make working on it simple and straightforward, Secta is easy to set-up, easy to ride and easy to maintain.
All new chassis
Secta’s chassis has been developed from the ground-up with our latest geometry and performance thinking.
Of the 13 elements that go to make up the frame, nine are completely new. All to deliver you a fully featured frameset that’s the summation of 20 years of award-winning hardtail design.
Aluminium frame
Made from 6061-T6 heat treated aluminium with multi-shaped and formed tube profiles.
1X-specific
We pioneered 1X-specific frames and have continuously refined our frames to optimise mud room, stiffness, and responsive handling.
Threaded BB
The 73mm BSA BB-X 63 bottom bracket shell, has been redeveloped to allow for greater internal space for dropper seat posts when combined with larger 30mm diameter alloy crank axles.
External to internal routing
Continuous external headset cable/hose routing, into weather-sealed internal downtube routing, and externally along the chainstays.
SRAM UDH ready
SRAM UDH drive-side dropout spec keeps you future-proofed for upgrading your transmission as/when you wish.
Flat-out fun
Secta is designed and dressed for making the most of every bit of fun you can find – whether going fast and far in the hills, sessioning singletrack, or lapping trail centre trails.
Suspension sweetspot
The 130mm travel fork gives you the sweetspot of the best, most balanced handling – up, down, and along – together with the capability to have fun, wherever the trail takes you.
Tuned ‘stays
A new reduced seat stay diameter and tubing gauge means lighter weight but, more importantly, increased compliance and torsional tuning for optimum hardtail ride-feel.
Long-stroke dropper
Full 300mm reamed depth 30.9mm seat tube for maximum dropper seat post insertion so you can tackle everything with total confidence.
Balanced handling
Secta’s modern trail geometry balances confident but instantly reactive steering with all-day ride and climbing comfort.
Fast and smooth
Fast-rolling 29in wheels paired with 2.5in Maxxis tyres give you the grip and the air volume to deliver comfort and control on every ride.
Reassuring braking control
180mm rotors front and rear paired with hydraulic disc brakes deliver you reliable and controllable braking power on even the longest, fastest descents.
1X
Shimano delivers reliable and smooth gear shifting, together with the gearing range to go far and fast – uphill and down.
Carry essentials
Bottle cage and tool storage bosses let you easily carry water, tools and a tube. The low positioned bottle bosses also reduce the bike’s centre of gravity for great handling – even with a full water bottle.
Confidence by design
Confidence by design
Secta’s confidence-inspiring geometry and specially selected components have all been crafted to combine to unlock your riding potential, wherever you ride.
The latest generation of our award-winning trail hardtail line translates perfect ‘Total Geometry’ poise through progressive geometry that balances confident but instantly reactive steering with all-day ride and climbing comfort.
• 63.5º head angle, 35mm stem and 44mm offset fork give confident but instantly reactive steering.
• Size-specific seat angles (75.5 º on size small, through to 77 º on extra-large frames) deliver all day comfort and an efficient climbing position.
• The sub-300mm ride height helps minimise the bike’s centre of gravity to deliver agile and responsive handling.
• Short offset forks and custom Whyte short stem, bars and grips complete your connection to the flowing, calm but hard-charging character that pro bike testers and trail riders love.
Designed in the UK, ready for everywhere.
We’ve designed, tested and developed Secta in the UK to ensure it’ll continue to perform flawlessly year after year – no matter how hard you push it or what conditions you ride through – good, bad, or atrocious.
To do that, we’ve paid as much attention to all the small details as we have the big. Everything from sweating the fine details of component selection to give you the perfect balance of performance and reliability, all the way to fully sealed cable ports, masses of mud clearances, and more.
The best British design, designed to perform, engineered to last, award-winning handling and proven through the worst conditions. That’s the Whyte difference.
Weather-sealed cable routing
Keep the water out with weather-sealed cable and hose ports, combined with an uninterrupted cable outer running the from gear shifter to rear derailleur.
Weather-sealed seat clamp collar
Prevents water entering the frame via the seat clamp (Secta RS) and seatpost, keeping your frame and dropper post working sweeter for longer.
2.6in tyre clearance
Generous tyre clearance for up to 2.6in tyres between the seat and chainstays so you go big on tyre volume – without mud slowing you down.
Armoured frame
Tough, custom chain protection on the chainstay to both silence chain slap and keep the frame in great shape.
Lifetime frame warranty
