Expirience with the Whyte 605

Ludwig Döhl Aabove all, the Whyte Hardtail just feels great. The combination of a 65 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Downcountry-Bike of Whyte, even if you ride fast. The seating position is sporty. A good argument for the Whyte Downcountry-Bike: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Whyte Hardtail sizing runs big.
