Mid-range high performance
Wherever you ride – trail, e-enduro, or adventure – the E-160 RS has the capability to help you conquer everything. With its award-winning and confidence-inspiring Total Geometry handling, trail-proven parts, large 750Wh battery and high performance Bosch Performance Line CX 85Nm motor, on the E-160 RS you will truly be able to turn up the fun on every trail.
Highlights:
- Optimised low centre of gravity gives you exceptional handling
- 160mm front + 155mm rear suspension travel is capable for everything
- Multi-butted 6061 T-6 aluminium hydroformed frame is built to last
- Bosch Performance CX 85Nm motor (600W peak power) for class-leading performance
- 750Wh battery gives you the range to ride further for longer
- 29er wheels front and rear (size M-XL); 27.5in wheels (size XS-S) for balanced handling
Tuned to perform
Mid-range doesn't mean mid-pack when it comes to the E-160 RS. It's dressed in a curated parts list that maximises the performance bang for your buck where it really counts: SRAM GX T-Type AXS 1x12 wireless electronic gearing, Maxxis tyres, feedback-rich SRAM Code R four-piston brakes, and more. Whyte's own custom-tuned suspension from Fox has also been meticulously tuned and tested to deliver you outstanding, ground-hugging grip with the support you need to right out of the box.
Confidence on any terrain
Whyte's Total Geometry approach gives the E-160 RS a generous reach, reassuring head angle and short offset fork, making it the most confidence-inspiring, nimble e-bike they’ve ever made. Whyte have also given the E-160 S a rock-bottom centre of gravity by optimising the distribution of the battery and motor mass within the chassis. So you can expect exceptional cornering agility and a planted feel on even the choppiest terrain. You can also adjust the bike's geometry using its Shape.It Link ‘flip-chip’ geometry adjust (switchable from the stock 'High' setting to 'Low' to slacken the bike out by 0.6 degrees and lower the bottom bracket by 8mm) for even more gravity-focused handling.
Engineered for life
Whyte have engineered the E-160 RS not just to perform today but for every day you want to ride it – for years to come. Everything from making the day-to-day tasks simple and easy – like hassle-free battery installation/removal, keeping room for a water bottle in the main frame, and in-the-bike-charging – to standing behind you for the long haul with the best rider support out there, four-year extended frame warranty and a lifetime warranty on bearings for total peace of mind. Because when a bike is this good you’ll want to ride it as much as possible.
Smartly connected
With the Bosch Smart System – which links up the E-160 RS’s bar-mounted LED Remote, battery and motor via the companion 'eBike Flow' app – you can have even more information at your fingertips to manage, tailor and personalise your bike just how you want: tune the motor support levels; keep track of your bike’s performance and battery consumption; plan and navigate routes; keep your software up to date. And much, much more.
