Whyte E-160 RS 2022 Full Suspension Electric Mountain Bike

The 2022 Whyte E-160 RS V2 Electric Mountain Bike in Matt Moss is a rider-focussed, do-it-all British Trailbike that packs more punch into every ride. It comes with next level agility and totally sorted suspension – with the carve and pop personality that defines all Whyte’s Trail/Enduro mountain bikes.

Uncompromised Whyte OTO geometry combined with an ultra-low centre of gravity means outstanding handling, balance and control. A complete eSystem from Bosch means reliability and unbeatable backup. Whyte’s “slide in” battery fitment means maximum structural integrity for minimum weight and torsional rigidity.

The high-torque 85Nm Bosch Performance Line CX motor is super-compact with exceptionally smooth power delivery which simulates normal pedalling, and range anxiety shouldn’t be an issue as a powerful 625Wh battery comes as standard.

The E-160 RS comes with a Fox Float 38, Performance 27.5″, 160mm Travel fork at the front and a Fox Float Performance DPS shock at the back. 12 speed SRAM Eagle gearing and SRAM Code R brakes.
