Versatile and Ready for Anything
Smart, capable, and always up for the ride – the Tourus is the ideal companion for commuting, exploring, or loading up with gear for your next getaway. A wide-range 2x10 Shimano GRX drivetrain gives you the gears to climb comfortably even when fully packed, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes and a large front rotor offer excellent stopping power in all weather.
Internal cable routing, loads of mud clearance, and full compatibility with mudguards (including the optional Whyte mudguard kit – WHYMG55G) mean it's ready to take on your commute or next tour, rain or shine.
Go Beyond the Pavement
With confident, mountain bike-inspired geometry, the Tourus feels stable and composed on gravel, forest tracks and more. Wide 700x45mm Maxxis Reaver tyres deliver comfort and grip across rough terrain, while tubeless-ready wheels mean fewer flats and better traction. It’s built with multiple mounting points for bottles, racks*, and bags — ideal for bikepacking or everyday utility.
Planning to fit a rear rack? For the best fit on this frame’s dropped seatstay design, we recommend using a seatclamp with an integrated rack mount.
Smooth, Confident Handling
This bike blends modern gravel geometry with tried-and-tested handling inspired by mountain biking. A longer reach paired with a short stem and wide bars gives a confident, comfortable riding position. The custom-offset alloy fork keeps steering light and balanced – whether you’re fully loaded with gear or riding light on the road. It’s just as happy rolling through town as it is exploring off the map.
