WHYTE E-160 RS MX
The E-160 RS MX is a versatile and involving mid-travel full suspension electric mountain bike for aggressive trail riding; pushing your envelope racing e-enduro between the tapes; back-country adventures; or having a blast on steep and techy trails. However you ride, with the confidence-inspiring E-160 RS MX you can turn up the fun on every trail.
Our lowered centre of gravity concept optimises the distribution of battery and motor mass within the chassis so you can experience exceptional cornering agility and a planted feel on any trail, while MX wheels deliver more front-wheel grip and roll-over combined with assured poise on steep and techy terrain. Combine this all with our 'Total Geometry' system with its generous reach, reassuring head angle and short offset fork gives you the most confidence-inspiring and agile e-bike we have ever made.
