Whyte 801 v4 Review
Ludwig Döhl
Fun is the name of the game when you ride the Whyte 801 v4 on long tours with lots of trails. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Whyte. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. For 1699 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. Pay attention when selecting your size: the Whyte Downcountry-Bike sizing runs big.

Geometry

Je steiler der Winkel des Sitzrohrs ist, desto effizienter können Sie in die Pedale treten.
