When Jon Whyte originally decided it was time to build a hardtail in 2006, you just knew it was going to be something extraordinary and for 2010 Whyte have taken things a stage further.
The 19 Trail is a hardtail that is as versatile as a hardtail can be. Single speed? Yep, if you want. Gears? No problem. Short chainstays for techincal riding? Umm Ok then. Longer wheelbase for covering the miles? That’s fine too. What makes the 19 special is its custom designed replaceable dropouts that cater for every mood. So whatever your riding style, the 19 should have it covered.
For 2010 the range has grown to three models, the 19 Trail, the 19 Steel 631 and 19 Titanium, each of them optimised to the characteristics of the frame material – hydroformed alloy, 631 steel or titanium – but each using essentially the same geometry and adjustable dropout concept.
The 19 Trail comes with a Fox F120 RL QR15 with 120mm of travel, adjustable rebound and lockout. The bike is optimised for all round trail use and has SRAM X-9 shifters with an SRAM X-0 rear derailleur mated to a Truvativ Stylo 3.3 chainset.
To keep everything in check when the trail turns downhill there’s Hope X2 hydraulic disc brakes with Tech carbon levers and a 180mm front rotor and there’s finishing kit that includes a Thomson seat post, Thomson stem and Easton Monkeybar handlebars and a Fizik Gobi XM saddle with Magnesium rails for comfort.
A strong, tough wheelset is formed from Hope Pro 2 disc hubs and Mavic XM-719 rims. In short, it’s a tough no-nonsense machine that’s built to take some stick.
