Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Cancelled / Refunded Orders Prior to Despatch

Occassionally our site will state that a particular item is in stock & avaible for despatch, when in fact it isnt.

2018 Whyte T-130 RS Trail Suspension 130mm Mountain Bike

Season:2018

Brand:Whyte

Code:wt130rs18

The T-130 RS features our "multi award winning" SCR single ring specific frame with mega-stiff symmetrical chainstays. A full width main pivot increases torsional stiffness, extends bearing life and maximises suspension performance.

 

The T-130 RS gets a big suspension upgrade in 2018 using the Fox 34 Performance Elite fork with its highly acclaimed FIT-4 damper.

 

Whyte hubs are laced to WTB STs i29 29mm wide rims with WTB high air volume tyres to allow you to exploit even more speed and fun out of the T-130's geometry.

 

Shimano XT 1 by 11 drivetrain /  FOX 34 Performance Elite fork with Float DPS rear suspension/ Reverb Stealth seatpost

Full Suspension bikes have changed so much over the last few years. Travel has got biger / longer. Lockouts are available on most bikes and even some bikes have on board computers controlling what the suspension does.

So what do you go for? Well If you believe the press then you need at least 150mm travel if you do anymore than drop off a curb. In reality that's complete rubbish. So here's our attempt to help make things a little clearer for you

XC Bike - Normaly 100 / 120mm travel bike will be sufficient for a XC bike. You will want to consider what lockout the front and rear shock has fitted so you can lock the suspension to improve climbing speed

Trail Bike - 130mm to 150mm travel bike suitable for most trail centers around the UK including Cannock Chase. Consider that all trail centers contain a reasonable amount of climbing so again you may want to consider the lockout system so you can get up the climbs without bobing around too much whilst you get full use of the travel when you come down the other-side.

Enduro Bike - 150mm to 170mm travel bike. If you like taking air where possible, hitting rock gardens flat out and take in the odd downhill track then these bike would be best for you. Make sure you consider that most of the bikes in this category are predominately design to go down so weight will increase as will the bikes ride quality on anything flat and up hill
