E-505 29er – V1 – Matt Black

The new E-505 from Whyte combines the exceptional handling benefits of Whyte geometry with a complete eSystem from Bosch for the unbeatable combination of ride performance and reliability.

The alloy frame is light, but it’s also tough. The E-505 has a 65.5 degree head angle paired with 29″ wheels, short stem and wide handlebars keep it a fun, fast bike to ride especially up those climbs.

Bosch’s class-leading Gen 4 Performance Line CX Drive Unit has all the power you’ll need on tap. With a whopping 85Nm of torque you’ll be conquering climbs that many others can only push up. Quick 29″ WTB rims and wide 2.6″ Maxxis Forekaster combine for a wet weather optimised package that’s practically made for the British climate. Wide middleknobs make for excellent braking while clearly mud quickly and the EXO puncture protection gives you peace of mind. 

The Bosch Purion display sits right next to your left grip so you don’t need to move your hands to change the Bosch motor assistance. 

If you’re a sporty trail rider wanting to go that bit further, or you’re a recreational rider who wants the option of extra help on the commute or going off on the fire roads at the weekend, the E-500 series from Whyte is for you. If you’re after a nimble 27.5″ wheel with a similar spec, check out the E-504.
