MBUK take a 1st look at the 146 X.

“A light, zippy and extremely capable 150mm travel bomber with excellent spec. It’s astonishingly good value too.”

“The clean sweeping lines and stealth finish make the 146 X very desirable.”

“The ride is playful but it feels surprisingly comfortable at speed and through choppy terrain”.

“it’s worth mentioning that the high spec of this bike is worth £4930 alone – that’s not including the carbon fibre frame – so £4999 for the whole bike looks superb value to us…”

Here’s a picture of the bike I have been racing in the Western Cyclo-Cross Series this winter.

It’s done 10 CX races in that series, from 6th September 2011 through to 15th January 2012, all over the western area, from Bristol to Cheltenham to Swindon.  Courses have varied from fast to technical, wet to dry, hot to cold and in each it’s performed really well over the 55 minutes race duration.  Only the final race in Gloucester was marred with a start line puncture caused by a small thorn collected on the warm-up laps beforehand!  Other than that the races have gone well with no crashes, thanks to the fine handling and some good results in the Veterans category, gaining enough points to finish 3rd overall in this series. That has been the best result in several years of having done this type of cycle racing and much of that can be attributed to having ridden such a great bike for cyclo-cross competition.

Chapeau Cedric…

I raced the Human Race Wildman duathlon yesterday and was pleasantly surprised with an easy win, almost 3 minutes ahead of multiple (aquathlon) world champ and elite triathlete Richard Stannard. The success was built on the 1st run as I had a 2 min lead entering T1, but I also I did the best bike split on my Whyte E-120XT, despite a stuck chain that cost me a good minute, and despite the guys behind riding 29ers, which on a rolling course like that was a massive advantage. But yesterday was one of those days when you never get tired and you feel invicible. I kept on waiting to blow up but instead felt powerful and always in control. One to savour, and a fantastic way to kick off 2012!

Continuing the series about our bikes and why we ride them…this is Pat’s Whyte Caledonian set up for his daily commute to the Whyte R & D facility.

What a work horse, design and function in the ideal commuting package.

“I got it to test ride a non-spec sample front fork, then went back to the standard fork and carried on riding around town.  Just added mudguards and a rear rack and it’s been a very reliable steed. The disc brakes work great, ideal for quick stops when carrying a lot of luggage around. Tyres have had very few punctures (glass chips mostly).  Still on original brake pads and chain, after 18 months continual use and just some extra chain oil now and again.  It still feels nearly as “tight” as a brand new bike”.

Cheers,

Pat
