Whyte's confidence-inspiring Total Geometry system coupled with the MX wheel set-up ensures the E-180 S ‘plays and slays’ on the tightest, steepest tracks but still has your back when you’re flat out through boulder fields with handling that’s agile and alive for maximum fun. The Shape.It link ‘flip-chip’ also allows you to change the geometry of the bike: switch it from the stock high to the low position to slacken the bike out by 0.6 degrees and lower the bottom bracket (BB) by 8mm for the most gravity-focused handling, or keep it in the high position for better all-mountain pedalling and handling. And all without affecting the suspension kinematics.
