Expirience with the Whyte 429

Ludwig Döhl You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the 429 on long tours with lots of trails. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Whyte Hardtail suite the taste of most bikers. But one should not underestimate that wheels are extremely important for the riding experience on the trail. Whyte knows this and installed higher quality than the competitors at the price of 1199 Euro . Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Downcountry-Bike of Whyte sizing runs big.
