Whyte Karve EVO RS Electric Mountain Bike

Extreme Exhilaration, Exceptional Performance

The Whyte Karve EVO RS is built for riders who crave gravity-fuelled thrills, technical descents, bike park laps, and big mountain adventures. Combining Whyte’s proven long-travel suspension platform with the latest generation electric mountain bike technology, the Karve EVO RS delivers exceptional control, confidence, and power on the toughest terrain.

Designed as the most accessible model in the Karve EVO range, the EVO RS shares the same gravity-focused platform as its flagship sibling, giving riders access to world-class descending performance without compromise. Whether you're tackling steep enduro stages, self-shuttling your favourite trails, or spending full days exploring mountain terrain, the Karve EVO RS is engineered to keep pushing further and riding harder.

At the heart of the bike is the powerful DJI Avinox M2S drive system, delivering up to 150Nm of peak torque and 1300W of peak power. The advanced motor system provides instant assistance, smooth power delivery, and impressive climbing capability, allowing riders to conquer steep ascents and technical terrain with ease. Five assistance modes – Auto, Eco, Trail, Turbo and Boost – allow power output to be tailored to the trail and riding style.

An integrated 800Wh battery provides exceptional range for all-day riding and repeated uplift-free runs. The high-capacity battery is designed to maximise time on the trail, making it ideal for riders who want to spend more time descending and less time worrying about charging.

The Karve EVO RS is built around a lightweight and durable chassis featuring a uni-directional carbon fibre front triangle paired with a 6061 aluminium rear triangle. Whyte’s proportional geometry philosophy ensures consistent handling across all frame sizes, while adjustable geometry settings allow riders to fine-tune the bike's performance to match their preferences and terrain.

Delivering 180mm of custom-tuned suspension travel front and rear, the EVO RS is designed to absorb the biggest hits while maintaining traction, composure, and control. The RockShox ZEB Select fork and RockShox Super Deluxe Select rear shock provide confidence-inspiring performance through technical descents, rock gardens, jumps, and steep mountain terrain.

A mixed-wheel configuration featuring a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel delivers an ideal blend of stability, agility, and manoeuvrability. The frame is also compatible with a full 29er setup, providing additional versatility for riders seeking alternative handling characteristics.

Premium trail-proven components complete the package, including a SRAM Eagle T-Type drivetrain, SRAM Maven four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, adjustable dropper post, and aggressive Maxxis tyres, ensuring reliable performance when riding the most demanding terrain.

Developed and tested for the toughest riding conditions, the Whyte Karve EVO RS is the perfect choice for riders who demand maximum capability, confidence, and performance from their electric mountain bike.
