Expirience with the Whyte G-180 RS 29ER

Ludwig Döhl The Whyte Fully was designed for use in on extremely technical trails. And that's exactly where it shines. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Enduro of Whyte, the 63,7 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 4899 Euro, Whyte provides more than the competitors in the same price range.
