Whyte G-170C RS 29er V2 review

Mar 2020 · Robin Weaver

Lively, fun and hellishly fast. The G-170C RS 29er is beautifully balanced and manages to offer seriously impressive value for money

Highs
  • Well balanced suspension

  • Super stable and confident without dulling the fun factor

  • Really solid, very well-considered build kit

Lows
  • High top tube limits standover clearance

  • Not the prettiest looking frame
