    Whyte 909 27.5 Hardtail Mountain Bike 2017 Granite/Gold/Grey review by Professional Review from enduro-mtb.com, on 30/01/2017

    5

    A good hardtail is a joy to ride, a bad hardtail is as much fun as taking a hammer to your knees. Without suspension to hide poor angles, geometry is king, and a good fork is essential. The Whyte 909 comes with a Boost 110 mm Fox Float Performance 34 fork with 130 mm of travel, which uses the new GRIP 3 position damper. We have been impressed with the GRIP3 damper, offering good support with a smooth initial stroke that does not get out of shape on repeated fast hits. The 909 is dripping with neat features that helped Whyte establish their formidable reputation of building bikes that work well in tough climates.

    Well chosen components reinforce the ‘bring it on’ character, a tried and tested Shimano XT M8000 1×11 drivetrain with 11-46 cassette and RaceFace Turbine 32T chainring offers enough range for all but the most harrowing of climbs. Shimano also look after the brakes with their new M8000 which have proven reliable and powerful. With the 180/160 mm rotors, power and modulation are superb for when you need to throw down the anchor.

    Hardtails live and die by their geometry numbers, and it’s great to see that Whyte have brought their 909 bang up to speed with a thoroughly progressive geometry. The angles are very well balanced, spacious without being barge like, slack without being a chopper, with a generous 459 mm reach in the size Large and tight 425 mm chainstays. Being a hardtail the 73° seat angle is fixed and puts the rider in an efficient position over the pedals for good power delivery. The 641 mm stack is tall and riders who like to really push the front wheel hard into turns will look to slam the stem as low as possible.

    On the trail we loved the laterally stiff Boost rear end which tracked well through turns and was easy to rail through berms, it’s no gentle mile muncher though, it’s stiff and aggressive. The components were well chosen and the Shimano XT M8000 brakes were very impressive, especially the smaller rear 160 mm rotor which improved modulation and delivered maximum feedback from the rear tyre. Speaking of tyres, we approved of the substantial mud clearance, again showing Whyte’s dedication to producing real world bikes. Those who liked their bars slammed will not like the tall headest cap which limits adjustability.

    Offering a great ride and composed handling the Whyte 909 brings a smile to the face of any level of rider. The aggressive stance encourages you to pedal like an animal and it takes on the daftest lines with total confidence. For those looking to smash out ride after ride without the complexity and expense of a full suspension bike, it’s faultless.
