    I have just been looking at the whyte website for a local dealer.

    I am on the market for a new HT, but with longer travel than I currently ride with, the 905 looks like it could fit the bill :-)

    sorry I didn't look at the date of the post.....I was doing some research on the 905

    whats the ride like ?

    it seems to have good reviews, but it seems to be expensive for what it is (according to others).

    Yeah there was a good review in WMB 93, won so alright.
    It is a bit expensive but I got mine in a Jan sale 15% off :D

    Rides real nice, the geometry is really good, the stock tyres are slow though.

    also look at the Genesis altitude 30

    Sorry I know this is an old thread but what colour is the frame? In all pictures of seen it looks white but the description is Gloss Cool Gray.

    The 905 has a white frame (which looks ace) - the 19 trail has a gloss grey frame.
