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 frame is absolutely riddled with lugs for all the hydration and bike packing storage you could need, with space on the fork, top tube, seat tube and upper and lower side of the downtube. The frame and fork also offer the versatility and tyre clearance to happily run a 45c tyre, and without mudguards potentially the option to go wider. The bike can also take the smaller to 650b wheel to accommodate the even larger sizes.
Pre taped WTB rims combined with Maxxis Rambler tyres allow for an easy tubeless set-up. Just fit the supplied valves, add sealant and get the tyres seated! The Ramblers provide excellent all-round grip from tarmac to sloppy fire roads, and when set up tubeless provides that extra bit of performance and puncture protection.
Fitted with the popular SRAM Apex 1x groupset the Friston is armed with an excellent go-to gravel gearing set up, offering a great range of gears with reliable shifting. No front derailleur keeps things simple and prevents gears getting clogged up in the really muddy rides and CX races. And the SRAM Apex hydraulic disc brakes provide ample stopping power.
The super wide handlebar equipped on the GX series delivers maximum stability and bag loads of space for all the lights, tech and storage you need for your trip. With a nice long wheelbase and cockpit reach, the GX series smoothes out even the roughest of pothole-littered fire roads.
A bike that we have loved so much in the shop that we decided to incorporate it as one of our hire options, and has gone down an absolute storm.

If you require expedited/next day shipping, give us a call on 0141 552 0841 or drop us an email on sales@billybilslandcycles.co.uk and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Every bike we sell is fully assembled and tested for safety by our trained mechanics. We then partly disassemble the bike and carefully re-pack to prepare for shipping.
Depending on the model, upon receipt you may be required to straighten and tighten the handlebars, reattach front wheel and attach the pedals. Please ensure that the pedals are greased and fitted correctly - the pedals will be marked L and R and have to be fitted to the left and right cranks respectively. Pedal do not come with every bike and need to be bough separately, especially on more high-end models. Please check when you are ordering.
There is a guide in the box telling you which tools you will need and the steps to follow. This will require some degree of mechanical skill to put together and can need some minor adjustments. The less confident you are in this field the more we'd recommend having it checked over by a professional mechanic.
