With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

Find Your Fun — Everywhere

The Whyte's Friston is perfect if you’re looking for a gravel bike that’s fun, versatile and will push the limits of what you can do off-road on a drop-barred bike. Load up and leave home or take the wild way to work and back, the Friston is designed to go the bike packing distance, and makes the journey the best part of the experience. Light yet tough, lively yet surefooted, fast on the road, fun in the woods, the Friston is more than just gravel.

Whyte's GX bikes are versatility defined. On-road, off-road or both in the same ride, their uniquely capable and efficiently fast Adventure bikes set a new standard for all day, all-rounders.

The Whyte Friston takes everything learnt from MTBs and puts that knowledge into a great value Gravel/Adventure bike package. With hydraulic discs, ground-breaking geometry, SRAM’s Apex 1 groupset and a dropper post so you can make the most of its capabilities on steeper descents.

With Whyte's frame geometry unique to the Friston, creates a supremely versatile all-terrain bike. It’s equally at home riding your favourite bridle path, winter training or even commuting.

Whyte’s straight-bladed full carbon fork with its tapered steerer tube and 12mm thru axle gives this bike great frontend stiffness and steering precision. Combined with an ultra-wide Whyte 500 riser bar this allows the rider to truly exploit the radical geometry.

Size Guides are a great way to help you find the right bike, but we always recommend visiting our store to view and sit on the bike in person where possible or speaking to our advice team.

This Size Guide is based on an average build, if you have shorter arms or longer legs for example you will need to consider this when purchasing a bike. If you are between sizes, we always recommend sizing down as a smaller bike can be made bigger with adjustments. Stem length, Saddle height, Handlebar width and even Crank length can be changed to achieve the ideal riding position. See here for our general bike sizing guide.
