Expirience with the Whyte 629 v4

Ludwig Döhl When riding it as a on long tours in light terrain, the 629 v4 really comes into its own. The flat 65 degree head tube angle of the Whyte Downcountry-Bike oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. On climbs, the Whyte Downcountry-Bike lets you sweat. Other bikes 2599 Euro climb better. The 629 v4 shows what its capable of in the downhill. Pay attention when selecting your size: the 629 v4 sizing runs big.
