Chris Akrigg has always been one of our favorite riders to watch<\/a>. Seamlessly blending trials, MTB, BMX, and other influences, he often makes the impossible look rather easy. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2019, Akrigg announced that after 12 years with Mongoose bikes<\/a>, he was leaving the brand. That found him riding for GT bikes, and eventually incorporating more ebikes into his riding. Now, three years later, Akrigg once again has a new sponsor \u2013 Whyte Bikes. The move makes a lot of sense with a legendary British rider riding for a British bike brand that has a wide range of products including ebikes. <\/p>\n Specifically, the Whyte E-160 RSX ebike ridden by Chris Akrigg in Going Beyond, Episode 1 at the top of this page. The bike check above outlines Akrigg\u2019s basic set up for the E-160, but this won\u2019t be the only Whyte Bike you see him on. According to Whyte, \u201cAlongside the E-160 RSX, Chris is also riding our award-winning 29er trail hardtail, the 629, our versatile T-140 29 RS full suspension trail bike, and our progressive rough gravel bike, the Gisburn, so expect to see them all being fully Akrigg-ed soon.\u201d<\/p>\n We can\u2019t wait. <\/p>\n
