Tyre and Rim specs have been upgraded to deal with the new levels of performance available from the frame, with Gripper Maxxis tyres combined with WTB ST i25 TCS 2.0 rims.

780mm wide bars and 40mm extension stems make these cockpits truly modern. The 529 gets a 11-46 wide range cassette paired to Shimano Deore shifting and the 629 goes full NX Eagle.

With the addition of our BBX cable entry system, both bikes are easily upgradeable to the Whyte drop.it seat posts available in 125mm, 150mm and 170mm lengths.

These bikes represent the very latest thinking in hardtail design and Whyte is offering a truly different choice for the 29er hardtail customer.
