Product: Whyte G-180 Works 29er V1 review
£5,150.00
The Whyte G-170 was a benchmark long-travel 29er. With slack angles, a ground-hugging BB and plush suspension, it was a formidable enduro race machine. The biggest changes found on the Whyte G-180 though are to the frame itself. Gone is the carbon monocoque front end, replaced instead by a 6061 alloy construction that’s used across the two-bike 29er range.

With the new RockShox Domain the suspension giant is bringing its hard-hitting 38mm to affordable price point. More for less.
Product Overview
Available for both 27.5in and 29in wheels, the RockShox Domain comes in four travel options: 150mm; 160mm; 170mm and 180mm. There’s a single short 44mm offset and a sleek mudguard option that bolts to the brace for an extra £20.
In 2020, the suspension fork market was all about the number 38, as both Fox and RockShox launched big and burly single-crown models (Fox 38 and RockShox Zeb respectively). Equipped with 38mm stanchions, these beefcake forks aimed to boost the stiffness of hard-charging e-bikes and enduro bikes. But they came at a price, with Fox’s top-of-the-range 38 coming in at an equally chunky £1,300, and the RockShox Zeb Ultimate not far behind at £969.
