The Friston takes everything we've learnt from MTBs and puts that knowledge into a great value Gravel/Adventure bike package. With hydraulic discs, ground-breaking geometry, SRAM's Apex 1 groupset and a dropper post so you can make the most of its capabilities on steeper descents.
We have applied our unique Whyte frame geometry to the Friston, creating a supremely versatile all-terrain bike. It's equally at home riding your favourite bridle path, winter training or even commuting.
Whyte's straight bladed full carbon fork with its tapered steerer tube and 12mm through axle gives this bike great front end stiffness and steering precision. Combined with an ultra-wide Whyte 500 riser bar which allows the rider to truly exploit the radical geometry.
