Tourus is our light gravel, all-road commuting, touring and utility bike. Playful and practical, it offers an outstanding blend of value, versatility, and performance everywhere. Whether mixing up the roads with the rough, heading out for a bike packing adventure, or getting to work and back swiftly and efficiently.
Highlights
– Fully featured, multi-butted 6061 T6 hydroformed frame.
– Straight bladed 6061 alloy fork with mounting points.
– 2x10 Shimano GRX transmission (46-30T x 11-34T).

Always ready
Practical, good looking and always ready for everything, Tourus is your ideal getaway partner. Wide range 2x10 gearing makes climbing easy – whether loaded up with bike packing gear or making up for lost time after the morning alarm didn’t go off. Hydraulic disc brakes with an oversize front rotor mean stopping is never an issue either. Sealed cable ports and masses of mud clearance, together with being fully mud-guard ready. Just add our own Whyte mudguards (WHYMG55G) to ensure bad weather will never hold you back.
Smooths the rough
Tourus shares the same ‘ride anywhere’ mountain bike (MTB) inspired handling as the rest of our gravel range. Together with wide rims and high-volume 700x45mm tyres that boost comfort and grip, Tourus is always ready to leave the roads far behind as you head over the hills, into the forests and down unknown trails. The Maxxis tyres, 2x10 Shimano GRX gears and brakes, bottle, rack* and bike packing mounts mean the Tourus is a fast, efficient and capable all-rounder. *If you want to run a rear rack with our gravel bikes dropped seatstay design, we recommend purchasing a combined seatclamp with integrated rack mount to give you the straightest and strongest rack fixing on our gravel bikes.
Gravel the Whyte way
We’ve engineered Tourus with a unique blend of our mountain bike (MTB) and gravel innovations to deliver you the best, most confidence-inspiring and capable ride possible. Tourus’ longer reach alloy frame, short stem and wider bar boost comfort and confidence, while the custom offset fork keeps the Total Geometry steering fresh, light and naturally balanced without the flop and wander of a slack head angle. The result isn’t just on-trail confidence and inspiring capability, but a neutral and natural steering feel on road, too. That’s true even when you’re loaded with bikepacking gear.
