Ludwig Döhl You wont be able to hide that smile on your face when riding the Whyte Downcountry-Bike on long tours with lots of trails. With its balanced handling, riding the Whyte 805 v4 feels really intuitive. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Whyte 805 v4. All in all, in the on long tours with lots of trails category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Whyte Downcountry-Bike sizing runs big.
