Title should be the best of the bikes we were sent, these are not the best trail bikes available by any stretch of the imagination.

Hey @shaun1900 , it's true that these were three of the 8 bikes that mate it into the test, however the initial long-list of bikes we considered contained over 20 bikes. As always with bike of the year, we had price constraints - £3500-£4200 (before Whyte (and Scott) dropped their prices to £2999), and on the longer travel / more aggressive side of things. Of that 20 there were one or two that weren't available, however I'm pretty confident we collected a range of bikes that fulfilled what we were looking for in TBOTY 2024. Which bikes do you feel were missing? Always happy to receive feedback on our tests, of course :)

@@TomMarvin1hey Tom, I would definitely like to have heard what you thought of the Santa Cruz Hightower or Tall Boy , as well as the Specialized Stumpjumper or Pivot Switchblade. There are quite a few bikes left out that we would have loved your team’s opinions on and how they compare against the Whyte etc.

@@TomMarvin1 so did you ride all those 20 bikes, or only the ones that were supplied by manufacturers / distributors?

I love the colour of the Whyte.

For 3k there’s no argument against the Whyte, that’s a hell of a lot of bike for the money

How come 160/150 is a trail bike? It used to be 130/130. 160/150 used to be enduro few years back and now is all mountain.
