The Whyte Portobello V2 features massive 650b x 47c tyres to smooth out the road chatter. These deep profile tyres give the same rolling diameter as 700c x 28c tyres, but the extra air volume make them super comfortable and pinch puncture resistant.
Combining MTB geometry - updated for this season - and parts with road bike wheels and tyres has always been the case with Whyte's R-7 line up and the Portobello Plus Hybrid exemplifies this - but the new Plus tyres takes this to a new level. These high-air volume/low-rolling-resistance tyres are perfect for dealing with all surfaces
A custom rear dropout mounts the hydraulic disc brake caliper inside the rear triangle, clearing the way for any rack or mudguards that may be required. And like all Whyte bikes, the Portobello V2 is designed in the UK with specific features suited for British weather conditions, such as forward-facing seat tube slots, and full outer cable for better sealing, ensure your hybrid will perform rain or shine”
