Whyte Coniston Electric Hybrid Bike 2020

Summary

The Whyte Coniston Electric Bike utilises Shimano’s STEPS system to provide top level pedal assistance without compromising on weight distribution and handling.
Using Shimano’s STEPS e-Bike Drive Unit the Coniston is able to take advantage of the pedal assist without compromising the weight distribution and therefore the handling. STEPS provides just the right of amount of assistance to provide a great ride feel whilst letting you go further than you ever could before.

The Coniston’s frame is constructed of hydroformed T6 aluminium, making for an extremely light and stiff frame with Whyte’s uniquely shaped seat stays that increase comfort and performance. Complementing this is the frame’s geometry, designed to be comfortable across all terrains.

The Coniston boasts a Deore 10 speed drivetrain which provides accurate and reliable shifting performance. The Shimano hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors provide super stopping power and modulation even in wet conditions, which allows you to ride with confidence. The front suspension forks also provide you with 63mm of travel which soak up the rough roads with ease, or allow you to head off into light trails if you’re feeling adventurous.
