Expirience with the Whyte 901 v4

Ludwig Döhl When using it as on moderate to demanding trails, the Whyte 901 v4 really shows its full potential. The moderate 64,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. When entering the saddle, the Whyte Hardtail conveys a balanced seating position. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent.
