Whyte 905 V4 Frame Medium (As New!)

$350 GBP
2022 Whyte 905 V4 Frame Medium colour - Gloss Cement with Khaki & Sand Comes with Rear axle, Seat clamp, Hangar and Headset Ridden a total 7 miles from new - 2 incredibly small marks from Storage (both shown in photos), essentially this is ex-display levels of like-new. The bike is actually great, I had an older 901 previously, and bought this as a stop gap during Covid until I could upgrade to a full suspension frame however the opportunity to upgrade the frame came far sooner than expected, so this essentially ended up being a donor bike for all the parts on my current bike. I've owned a few hardtails but found the Whyte 900 range to be the best blend of aggressive/fun capabilities, whilst also being good all day rides. You have a very stable riding position which is great for cornering and jumping (as pictured), with just enough compliance (especially when matched up with a fat rear tyre) that you can ride it all day without knackering your arse and legs! I've had full intentions to build this up again as a fun trekking bike, but with getting married and moving home, lack of funds have stopped me, so I'm selling it instead. Frame - 6061 Alloy, Hydro Formed T6 Aluminium, Multi Butted, Custom Drawn Headtube - Tapered Headtube, Dropouts - 12mm X 148mm Boost Ideal fork travel - 130-140mm BB shell - 73mm Seat post size - 30.9mm Internal BBX63 Cable Routing for Dropper Post Geometry: HEAD TUBE ANGLE 64.5 SEAT TUBE ANGLE 74.5 TOP TUBE HORIZONTAL 627 BB HEIGHT ABOVE GROUND 297.5 STAND OVER HEIGHT 800 WHEEL BASE 1203 CHAIN STAY LENGTH 440 SEAT POST DIAMETER 30.9 HEAD TUBE LENGTH 130 SEAT TUBE LENGTH 431 STACK 633 REACH 454 Full Description including geometry and sizing etc (I'm 5 foot 7 and it was perfect fit for me. I'm probably on the shorter side of it's range however and I wouldn't reccomend for anyone much shorter than me) https://whytebikes.com/products/905?variant=39359080955973 Feel free to ask me any questions about it

I really wanted to join in with this thread, but I had nothing organic to say.

36pollici Announces the First Carbon 36er Mountain Bike
If you compare this to a normal mountain bike, this will look like a stupid idea. However, if you think of big off road grand tours, trekking, off road bikepacking, this is a good shout. Long marathon slogs, multi day wilderness adventures, long distance endurance races, you want a reliable bike that you can ride in a straight line comfortably for a long period of time and I think a big wheeled rigid bike is a good shout. Saying that, 36 might be too big…

27.5 x 2.8 maxxis tyres (used twice)

$75 GBP
Selling two nearly new maxxis trail tyres: Front: Maxxis High Roller II TR 27.5" x 2.8" 120TPI, EXO Sidewall protection, 3C Maxx Terra Rear: Maxxis Rekon TR 27.5" x 2.8" 60TPI, EXO Sidewall Protection Both tyres are tubeless ready, only ridden with tubes in and have covered only 6.5 miles according to strava These came stock on a whyte 905 V4 which I purchased recently. I have tried them out and although they have insane amounts of grip and have a really great dampened feel on rough stuff, I want to move to some narrower DHF tyres for more aggressive riding and more airtime. These were lovely on the hardtail but I’m converting that into a 29er expedition rig. They will be cleaned before sale, they still have the little injection spikes on them. Message me if you would like more photos Would rather not sell them individually if possible. Can ship at a cost You’d be spending £65 for the front and £55 for the rear new, so grab yourself a bargain!

7 Hardtails from Ard Rock 2021
Got a whyte 905 v4 on order. Bit of a dark horse, I’ve had the 901 for a few years and it’s a far more capable bike than I could ever imagine! Plus it’s possibly the only sub £2k bike up there

Whyte 901 medium

$850 GBP
Here’s my 2018 whyte 901 in medium I’m 5’7 with 30” inner leg and it fits me great, would suit a taller rider but perhaps not much shorter Condition is reasonable, there’s the usual stone paint chip (I have some official whyte 901 touch up paint and laquer which I will include) and a couple small indents on the back rim, but the bike is set up tubeless and it’s never affected the seal, even when completely removing and refitting the tyres Some decals on the forks and rims have faded slightly as the bike has been stored in a glass outdoor bike shed and the sun has done its thing, but without seeing the bike as new you wouldn’t tell Nothing which affects performance, the bike has been well looked after and has just had 2 brake bleeds and a service ready for sale. The freehub (which the original was notorious at going to f) has been replaced recently with an upgraded version from whyte also. Tyres also have a couple tubeless plugs in - this doesn’t affect the ride and they’re totally air tight The bike is relatively stock, with the addition of DMR V12 pedals, a reverb stealth dropper post, and rimpact tyre inserts (absolutely revolutionise the handling of this bike!) This bike has been great at most things, from long exploratory XC rides to smashing red trails all day at a bikepark Also the best jumping hardtail (other than my jump bike) I’ve ever ridden, the bike is surprisingly capable at whatever you throw at it! In fact, I am selling as I’ve just bought a 2022 whyte 905, as I like the bike so much! I can get any pic you wish, as for now I’ve just added photos from the last year which are already on my phone Feel free to message me with any questions or if you would like some more detailed images Also has a bell. Cheers

Photo Epic: Women Made Freeride History at Red Bull Formation 2021
Amazing riders Amazing women Amazing humans! This is so good to see - it takes a lot to be a good rider but it takes so much more to be a pioneer... and these women are pioneering women in freeride as we know it and it can only explode from here! Is it crass to refer to our sick sisters in MTB as sick-sters? Looking forward to the edit
