The S-150 broke the long-travel 29er mould with its race-winning pace and exquisitely balanced suspension and geometry. Multiple group-test wins and international awards confirmed the S-150’s position as a category pace-setter. Our Enduro race team members quickly found the bike to be rocket-fast on all but the toughest EWS courses, winning the British Masters Enduro National Championship on its first outing - but its speed is only part of the story.
With the additional 27.5” wheel-kit available in carbon or alloy rim options and running 27.5 x 2.8” tyres on 35mm wide rims, the bike turns into a high-grip hero at any trail centre. You won’t just beat your PB - you’ll demolish it. The level of connection and low, slack geometry combine to provide a bike that inspires so much confidence and poise, you’ll be taking lines you only ever glanced at before.
However, if you’re neither an Enduro racer or a trail-centre bomber, the S-150 is equally at home on natural terrain conquering a tricky climb or tackling a wet, technical descent in the depths of winter.
Many of the S-150’s attributes stem from the shorter fork offset Whyte pioneered on this bike.
When RockShox agreed to make us special 150mm travel Pike and Revelation forks with reduced offsets (and by building our unique geometry around these special forks) we were able to create an agile bike that handles with mega-front-end confidence on the descents and climbs steep slopes without the front-end wandering - a common issue with most other slack geometry bikes. The result is a bike that can be bought and ridden by a wide range of riders looking for a do-it-all bike. Combined with the optional wheel-kit this bike is truly able to take on any trail with efficiency, speed and most importantly confidence-inspiring fun!
