Private-equity firm acquires UK’s Whyte Bikes

October 20, 2025

A Dublin-based private-equity firm announced Monday the acquisition of Whyte Bikes Ltd. and that the existing management team will remain.

UK-based Whyte Bikes will transfer 100% ownership to Causeway Capital, which calls itself a growth-focused private-equity firm investing in businesses in Ireland and the UK. The firm recently closed its second fund, Causeway Capital Partners II, with a focus on innovative small and medium-sized enterprises with sustainable growth plans.

Causeway Capital and Whyte Bikes say the collaboration will enhance the brand’s innovation, dealer network, and key suppliers. With Causeway Capital’s support, Whyte Bikes plans to extend its reach beyond the UK and further into continental Europe and globally. BRAIN
