New Whyte Sythe full-suspension kids' MTB gets 135mm travel to open up more trails for young rippers
Whyte looks to be bringing big-hitting enduro capability to younger riders, with its new unreleased Sythe 27 full-suspension kids' mountain bike.The bike features 135mm of suspension travel at the rear, with a 150mm fork up front, which should be plenty for most younger riders.We spotted the bike on Whyte's stand at Ard Rock Enduro, with Whyte teasing it ahead of its launch at the end of next month.The British brand is known for producing high-quality kids' bikes, with the new Sythe 27 joining the hardtail Secta and T140 27 in its line-up. The Sythe 27 comes with a dropper post. Nick Clark / Our Media It is based on Whyte's Sythe enduro bike and features the same frame design as the larger model, with smaller proportions for shorter riders.As the name would suggest, the bike rolls on 27.5in wheels, although Whyte representatives on the stand at Ard Rock said it can also run a mini-mullet setup with a 26in wheel on the rear.The price is expected to be north of 2,000 and the spec reflects that. A Psylo Gold air fork should give good sensitivity for lighter riders. Nick Clark / Our Media Up-front, there's a 150mm RockShox Psylo fork, with a Deluxe rear shock sitting in the frame. Shimano's CUES derailleur takes care of shifting. Nick Clark / Our Media A Shimano CUES derailleur features on the rear of the bike, with a Whyte-branded crankset completing the drivetrain. The G2 brakes have reach and contact adjust, which should help when setting them up for smaller hands. Nick Clark / Our Media The Sythe 27 gets SRAM G2 brakes, with Whyte's own-brand wheels booted in Maxxis tyres.
