Whyte's UK design team are always looking for new ways to reduce weight, increase stiffness and improve performance. This year we've adopted two new technologies worthy of note.

Firstly we've ditched the old fashioned quick release hub on all our Trail bikes including the E-120 range and the 19 Trail and Titanium - and replaced it with either FOX's 15QR or RockShox Maxle Lite adding up to 25% increase in stiffness, improving wheel tracking and handling without a weight penalty and yet maintaining rider friendly rapid wheel removal.

Secondly we've started to use the new bottom bracket interface BB30. To be found on our new 19 Trail Titanium and 19 carbon race and team models the BB30 can significantly reduce weight, add stiffness and improve bearing durability.
