BIKE REVIEW: Wethepeople – ‘Curse’ Complete

'One of the best looking completes on the market'

The Wethepeople Curse 2016 is one of the best looking completes I’ve seen on the market hands down. I love the Green Tyre/CP combo (below) – It’s the first thing which caught my eye, either that or the stealthiness of the Matt Black colour option.

The Red Pearl finish looks dope too, the frame has a lush shine to it in daylight, chrome & black components work well with red as always. It’s pretty clear to see that WTP have put a lot of work into the planning & design of their 2016 Complete Bike range and here’s a bit more info on the Curse itself.

“The Curse enters 2016 with all new geometry and three incredible colour options. Decked out with some amazing parts including Éclat Surge pedals and Vex compound Wethepeople grips. The big change for the Curse this year is the addition of a fully sealed Salt EX cassette hub, making it undoubtedly one of the best quality entry-level bikes around. Our first 20-inch machine packs a real punch.”
