Whyte Secta R Hardtail Mountain Bike in Electric White

Get set to get mountain biking

However you ride, Secta R is ready to help you ride your best – right from the shop floor. With the same frame as our critically praised Secta RS, the Secta R is designed to help unlock your riding in a fun, confidence-inspiring and high-value package. Its fully-featured frame, specially curated components – including a dropper seat post to give you maximum confidence on descents (letting you lower and raise the saddle as your ride at the touch of button) – and enabling handling all combine to deliver you the best mountain bike trail performance and price possible. All so you can have maximum fun on the trail – and more money in your pocket.

Highlights

• Fully featured 6061 T6 precision formed aluminium frame.
• 130mm Suntour XCR 34 suspension fork.
• TransX full-insertion dropper post (with frame size-specific drop).
• Capable, smooth-rolling 29er wheels + Maxxis tyres.
• Shimano Cues 1x9 transmission (30T chainring x 11-46 cassette).
• Tektro two-piston hydraulic disc brakes (180mm rotors front + rear).

Capably versatile, simply fun

Secta R has been designed to give you an exhilarating and capable experience so you can turn up the fun on any trail. By blending progressive 29er trail hardtail geometry with the geometric sweet-spot of a 130mm travel short-offset fork, specially curated components and tyre choice, we've tuned Secta R to deliver you brilliantly balanced handling, everywhere. All so you can have even more fun on the trails you love – whether going all-out up tricky climbs, full-bore down techy descents, and everywhere in between.

It’s all in the frame

Secta R’s all-new frame is fully featured and lavished with intelligent details to boost your riding: a compact seatube and plenty of stand over combines with a long-stroke, full-insertion dropper post to give you all the room to manoeuvrer you may need. Low-down bottle cage bosses ensure a low centre of gravity and great handling – even with the extra weight of a full water bottle – so you can corner like a boss. Add in a pair of bosses under the top-tube to carry a tool or tube; a threaded BBX63 bottom bracket shell; 12mm x 148mm Boost rear dropouts, as well as SRAM UDH compatibility and with Secta R you’re all-set.

Made to last

To ensure that living with it for the long-haul is as good an experience as riding it, we’ve loaded the Secta R with all the bad-weather-beating and practical features possible to keep it running brilliantly ride after ride. External headtube cable routing and fully sealed cable runs (with weather-sealed cable ports) ensure easy to maintain and long-lasting performance; a weather-sealed seat post collar further defends against water and muck; room to fit up to a 29x2.6in rear tyre with ample mud clearance – thanks to our big-tyre friendly Single Chain Ring frame design – gives you the option to run bigger rubber; while a custom chainstay protector guards the frame from chain slap to silence your ride.
