Hey all! I am new here but I ordered the Whyte 909 from England a year ago (Fox 34 and full XT) and I can only say this bike will handle anything blue and black diamond with confidence and speed. I am a 50 year old ex bull rider and ride pretty aggressive with it and I hurt for a day or two afterwards. Maybe because I ride with a few 25 year old guys on their FS bikes. The finish on the frame is excellent as well as the bike over all and cant imagine riding much fast unless you want to wake up the following day in a hospital. The reach is pretty long and climbing is not it's best feature or bike tricks (I am on the injured list now from trying stupid bike tricks , however, point it downhill and its a different animal. I love the bike but it may not be for everyone.
