T-160 RS
enduro mountain bike
"Uphill and back down, it’s hard to find a better performer than the T-160 RS"
Thrive everywhere
Agile, fast, capable and engineered for enduro, our 'Trail Bike Of The Year' award-winning T-160 RS is ready for everything you can throw at it: double-black diamond descents, pinning Alpine lines, bikepark surfing, climbing mountain passes, or between the tapes enduro racing. Whether you ride, roam or race, it's tuned to give you every possible speed and style advantage, everywhere.
Highlights
– 160mm front and 150mm of rear suspension travel.
– 6061 aluminium SCR frame with ISCG 2 guide mounts + geometry adjustment.
– RockShox Lyrik Ultimate RC2 29in fork + Super Deluxe RC2T DebonAir shock
– SRAM GX Eagle 1x12 speed transmission (32T chainring x 10-52T cassette).
– 29in chaos taming wheels front and rear.
– Can be converted to MX wheels (29er front, 27.5in rear) for an even more gravity-focused ride.
Ready for going wild
For the latest T-160 RS, we've refined our revolutionary slammed stance, super accurate, agile and surefooted Total Geometry ride dynamics still further for a brilliant mix of easy pedal or distance speed – up as well as along – but also glue-like grip when it’s time to turn and burn. We’ve also curated the RS componentry with equal passion and insight too so there are no weak links when it’s time to get wild, head into the wilds – or both.
Light, tough and versatile
The T-160 RS's alloy frame is lightweight, tough, dependable and backed with a lifetime frame warranty, lifetime bearing warranty and unique weather sealing features. Our switchable Shape.It link also means you can adjust the geometry from its stock high setting to low to slacken the head angle out by 0.7º and reduce the bottom bracket height by 8mm for an even more aggressive, gravity-focused ride character.
Smoothly fast
29in wheels (aka ‘29er’) guarantee smooth control and easy speed for out-and-out and performance – whether you're racing between the tapes or sessioning tracks. Rolling on this larger wheel size and dressed with broad RaceFace tubeless rims and top-spec Maxxis tyres, the T-160 RS is dialled to make light of the worst chaos – roots, rocks, and anything else – the trail throws your way.
"Sorted chassis and stellar kit make the Whyte a no-brainer for the Trail Bike Of The Year win"
