Sizing Information

Whyte Karve RS Size Chart

Whyte uses rider height as the primary guide for sizing. The Karve RS is available in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large frame sizes.

Frame SizeRider Height (cm)Rider Height (ft/in)
Small (S)160–169 cm5'3"–5'7"
Medium (M)169–179 cm5'7"–5'11"
Large (L)179–189 cm5'11"–6'3"
X-Large (XL)189–197 cm6'3"–6'6"

Sizing Tips

  • Choose the smaller size if you prefer a more agile, playful ride with quicker handling.
  • Choose the larger size if you prioritise stability, confidence, and high-speed control.
  • The Karve RS features size-specific geometry designed to provide balanced handling and consistent ride characteristics across the size range.

Quick Guide

  • 160–169cm (5'3"–5'7") → Small
  • 169–179cm (5'7"–5'11") → Medium
  • 179–189cm (5'11"–6'3") → Large
  • 189–197cm (6'3"–6'6") → X-Large

Finding Your Ideal Size

If you're between sizes, consider your riding style:

  • More manoeuvrable and playful handling → Size down.
  • More stable and confidence-inspiring handling → Size up.

For example, a rider who is 178cm (5'10") could comfortably ride a Medium or Large, while a rider who is 180cm (5'11") will generally be best suited to a Large frame.
