To their credit, Shimano took Jon\u2019s comments so seriously, they sent their people over from Japan to find out how British cyclists managed to waste components so much faster than riders in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>Shimano\u2019s research led them to the conclusion that our typically wet, acid soil is probably the most abrasive terrain on earth for mountain biking. This inspired Jon Whyte to design bikes that can survive and thrive in this country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/7316_1615_3580_view-all-whyte-bikes.jpg\" alt=\"view-all-whyte-bikes.jpg\" width=\"334\" height=\"80\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Great British Design \u2013 For The Great British Weather<\/h2>\n<p>The picture above of Whyte\u2019s Quad 2 suspension demonstrates how he went about it.

When we give experienced cyclists a Whyte to try out, they almost always \u2018get it\u2019 immediately\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong> Ian Alexander, Chief Designer, Whyte Bikes <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jon Whyte retired in 2006. He left the company that retains his name in the good hands of his former partner, Ian Alexander, who has taken Whyte\u2019s passion for UK-proof design to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, Whyte mountain bikes have championed \u2018new school\u2019 geometry, specifically designed for UK technical terrain (compare with the majority of MTBs, primarily designed for the long, smooth fire roads most U.S. mountain bikers ride). Whyte\u2019s philosophy of slacker head angles and low centre of gravity inspire total confidence on technical descents. Coupled to long top tubes and short stems the steering is intuitive, totally engaging and never sluggish.

Back around 2005, they hit upon the idea that if you \u2018urbanised\u2019 a Whyte hardtail with rigid forks and slick tyres, its long cockpit, its fast handling, its powerful disc brakes and its UK-proof design made it perfect for city cycling. No wonder Whyte are now our fastest-growing supplier of both\u00a0 mountain bikes \u00a0and\u00a0 commuter\/hybrids .<\/p>\n<h2>The Big Question \u2013 What Sets Whyte Apart?<\/h2>\n<p>Whyte bike\u2019s chief designer, Ian Alexander, replied \u2018We see ourselves as a riders\u2019 brand. When we give experienced cyclists a Whyte to try out, they almost always \u2018get it\u2019 immediately. We have always been confident that Whyte bikes offer the best ride in Britain. However, we were especially gratified when we exhibited at the 2010 Eurobike trade show, European cyclists came to our stand and commented that the design and the geometry of Whyte bikes made them equally perfect for the wilds of Slovenia, Scandinavia, Spain, France\u2026They understood that bikes built for UK technical terrain will excel anywhere on Earth.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/3316_1615_3581_905-3-sm.jpg\" alt=\"905-3-sm.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"image-caption\"> Whyte 905 \u2013 like all Whyte bikes it was designed for the UK but excels around the world <\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Do\u00a0 <em> you <\/em> \u00a0ride a Whyte bike?
