Whyte 429 V2 Hardtail MTB 2023 - Matt Moss

Season:2023

Brand:Whyte Bikes

Code:429GRN

Whyte: Our entry level 429 trail hardtail is our most affordable fast, light weight and capable 29er that shares the same award-winning handling of our top-of-the range 629 but with the sharpest eye on maximizing the bang for your buck, with great handling and good parts in all the right places. It’s perfect making the most of every bit of fun you can find on your favourite singletrack and trail centre trails, as well as for going fast and far on big rides out in the hills.

Highlights
  • Light yet tough 6061 T6 hydroformed, multi-butted Singe Chain Ring (1X) specific frame
  • 120mm RockShox Silver TK suspension fork
  • Capable & smooth-rolling 29er wheels + grippy Maxxis tyres
  • Shimano 1x10 transmission (32T chainring x 11-46 cassette)
  • All-weather Tektro hydraulic disc brakes (180mm rotors front + rear)

Why The 429? Dressed in keenly selected, affordable components that can naturally be upgraded over time as they eventually wear and your riding progresses, the 429 uses the same perfect 10/10 MBR magazine scored frame as our flagship 629 trail hardtail to give you award-winning handling so you can confidently enjoy a wide variety of trails, combined with low weight and smooth-rolling 29er wheels to cover ground quickly and efficiently.

The 6061-T6 hydroformed, multi-butted mainframe also blends capability with comfort so that you can ride confidently on every ride – no matter how long or short – thanks to a careful blend of frame angles, dimensions, component choices, and custom fork offset to deliver you a class-leading ride that’s balanced, composed, stable and precise. We’ve also mounted the rear brake on the chainstay – rather than the traditional seatstay – to add even more comfort.

Features & Equipment
The most affordable of our three 29er trail hardtails comes with a suitably big value kit list that maximises performance and value: front suspension is provided by RockShox’s Silver TK 120mm travel forks; slick shifting with a good gear range to ease you up the climbs comes from Shimano’s Deore 1x10 groupset; grippy Maxxis Forekaster 29x2.35in front and fast-rolling Recon Race 29x2.5in rear tyres ensure you can drive forward efficiently and comfortably hold your line with sure-footed grip, while dependable all-weather braking comes from Tektro’s M275 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear for powerful braking.

To ensure that living with it for the long-haul is as good an experience as riding it, we’ve loaded the 429 with all the bad-weather-beating and practical features possible to keep it running brilliantly ride after rider, and year after year. That includes weather sealing the internally routed control cable ports and seat post collar to keep the water and muck where it belongs – outside; maximizing mud clearances – as well as allowing space for up to 2.6in tyres in the rear – thanks to our big-tyre friendly Single Chain Ring frame design; as well as a custom chainstay guard to both protect the frame from chain slap damage and silent your ride.

Bigger diameter 29in (aka ‘29er’) wheels boost performance in several ways. Their larger size effectively shrinks every bump, so they can roll over rough terrain faster and smoother so you can go further, with less fatigue and more control. They also have more gyroscopic stability so you can hold your line better when things get loose, adding more control and confidence. While that can make some 29ers dull, our unique Total Geometry approach means our 29er bikes are still agile and fun as well.
