Whyte 905 review

Jun 2018 · Guy Kesteven

Insane amounts of downhill confidence and trail flow — only a cockpit change away from perfection. Buy if you're looking for a smooth, stable ride with plenty of life

Highs
  • Potentially the best technical-trail hardtail I’ve ever ridden, light and lively enough for all-day trail play

Lows
  • Deserves an equally radical cockpit, bigger brakes would be a bonus too
