Whyte Dorset 2019 Bike

The Whyte Dorset is a versatile and resilient road bike with endurance orientated geometry and all-weather performance components to give you the edge for long commutes, winter training and rural summer sportives.

With a proficient Shimano Sora 2x9 drivetrain and TRP HyRd cable actuated hydraulic brakes, 6061 multi-butted hydroformed Aluminium frame and Carbon bladed fork, the Dorset finds an ideal balance between appreciable performance and great value. Sealed bearings in the wheels, headset and BB heighten all-round smoothness and increase durability, and the bigger than average 30c Schwalbe G-One tyres provide reliable traction on wet and dry surfaces, even at extreme angles.

All in all great mid-range endurance road bike that can be used for many purposes.
