Looks like Burgtec have done those custom MX dropouts for Kolb - it would be awesome if something that allows for UDH comes out further down the line

Three new bikes dropping from Whyte today, two regular mountain bikes and one Avinox M2S-powered eeb.

With Quad-Link suspension, adjustable geometry and MX compatibility, it’s designed for riders who prioritize descending performance but still want a bike they can pedal all day. Sythe is offered in two build options - the S and RS. The former offers the same incredible value as all Whyte’s S-level kits, this time thanks to the Marzocchi Bomber Z1s and Bomber Air piggyback shock. Meanwhile...
