Fun, fast and capable
Whyte Secta RS builds on our award-winning hardtail heritage for the demands – and terrain – of today’s trail riders. With a fully featured frame, confidence-inspiring geometry, enabling componentry, and full weatherproofing, Whyte Secta RS delivers exceptional performance in a ‘quality for money’ package that’s as easy to ride as it is to love.
Highlights
– Fully featured 6061 T6 precision formed aluminium frame.
– 130mm RockShox Psylo Gold RC suspension fork.
– Capable, smooth-rolling 29er wheels + Maxxis tubeless ready tyres.
– Shimano Deore 1x12 transmission (32T chainring x 10-51 cassette).
– Shimano four-piston hydraulic disc brakes (180mm rotors front + rear)
– TransX RAD full-insertion dropper post (with frame size-specific drop).
Simply versatile, simply fun
Whyte Secta RS has been designed to give you an exhilarating and capable experience so you can turn up the fun on any trail. By blending progressive 29er trail hardtail geometry with the geometric sweet-spot of a 130mm travel short-offset fork, specially curated components and tyre choice, we've tuned Secta RS to deliver you brilliantly balanced handling, everywhere. All so you can have even more fun on the trails you love – whether going all-out up tricky climbs, full-bore down techy descents, and everywhere in between.
It’s all in the frame
Whyte Secta RS’s all-new frame is fully featured and lavished with intelligent details to boost your riding: a compact seatube and plenty of stand over combines with a long-stroke, full-insertion dropper post to give you all the room to maneuverer you may need. Low-down bottle cage bosses ensure a low centre of gravity and great handling – even with the extra weight of a full water bottle – so you can corner like a boss. Add in a pair of bosses under the top-tube to carry a tool or tube; a threaded BBX63 bottom bracket shell; 12mm x 148mm Boost rear dropouts, as well as SRAM UDH compatibility and with Secta RS you’re all-set.
Made to last
To ensure that living with it for the long-haul is as good an experience as riding it, we’ve loaded the Secta RS with all the bad-weather-beating and practical features possible to keep it running brilliantly ride after ride. External headtube cable routing and fully sealed cable runs (with weather-sealed cable ports) ensure easy to maintain and long-lasting performance; a weather-sealed seat post collar further defends against water and muck; room to fit up to a 29x2.6in rear tyre with ample mud clearance – thanks to our big-tyre friendly Single Chain Ring frame design – gives you the option to run bigger rubber; while a custom chainstay protector guards the frame from chain slap to silence your ride.
