[Closed] Whyte 901 & 905

The 905 won't let you ride any harder/faster trails, they have the same geometry/suspension etc. It'll let you ride them *slightly* faster maybe, but you could also use the extra £400 for 4 good weekends away, or some pimp riding gear?

I got the 905 right enough and love it, very capable, encourages all sorts of badness, hence the state of the rear rim...

Half a kilo lighter and a better fork as far as I can tell. Reckon the 901 would be a great bike and the 905 only a little bit better. If 500 quid is a lot of money I'd say get the 901. If it's loose change then get the 905.

Great comments. I currently have a 2008 rockhopper pro which has done me well. But these whytes seem pretty darn good, I reckon I will probably go with the 901 purely for the price.

I normally keep my bikes for a good few years so upgrades are always a possibility later on.

901 2011 currently pricing at £900 ish and the 2012 bout £1100. Doesn't looks a fat lot of difference between the two

If I can confirm the large will fit il take it following that link. Does anyone know how the whytes size up, I'm 6ft 2? I looked on whyte size chart and it seems really close between large and extra large
