...[url= http://bikemagic.com/gear/whyte-146-s-first-look.html ]I'm just not that convinced[/url] about the suspension. Rode an earlier model and didn't really 'feel it'. But saying that, I see them all the time (not as popular as my Orange though), so they must be good. Right?
Isn't this suspension design very sensitive to how it is set-up? That is what most of the reviews seem to go on about with the quad-link II suspension.
I'd want a test ride.
A mate of mine has got an E-120 and really likes it.
I have one and love it...previous bike was a Mount Vision so similar but with less travel. Before that a Giant Trance. Suspect it isn't set up right, sag is correct but rebound and stuff probably needs a check. Not sure how other bikes ride or how this should ride but it feels very good to me.
Try a longer test ride perhaps?
Anyone think it's a tad expensive?
I love the mud clearance on Whytes.
Anyone think it's a tad expensive?
Carbon frame, X9, decent forks/wheels etc. Not really.
Who, aside from Canyon, can beat that for £3k? Much better value than Specialized/Treks attempts at the same. Zesty 514 is the only obvious competitor I can think of that vaguely matches it, and it's got cheaper wheels and things.
+1 toasty -
my mate has one and he loves it, for 3k (ok its a lot of money fullstop) its about as good a spec as you can get, its a full carbon frame for starters and the forks are FIT damper ones, its got a full ust wheelset which arent cheap, x9 is like xt and all the kits nice easton haven etc...id say in the going market its bloody good value, not sure what else other than canyon (which the frames may be the cheap thing on the dripping xtr bling) are anywhere near that....
did i mention its a full carbon frame as well?!?! if i was getting a new bike that would defo be up there on the to test list
