Whyte 901 review

Sep 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Whyte's 900 series frame is still the hardtail benchmark for XC agility and speed with black run bomber attitude. Buy if you're looking for a bike that's DH-ready and can handle steep and technical trails

Highs
  • SCR frameset and bigger tyres boost already subtle frame smoothness and SRAM NX is great

Lows
  • Sektor fork is out of its depth before the rest of the bike gets into its stride

A cutting-edge hardtail ripper that put a smile on our face every time we rode it.

Highs
  • Attacking every trail

Lows
  • Ankles and lower back take a beating
