Description
Looking for a depenable, resilient and powerful mountain bike built to tackle technical trails, devour steep inclines and tear up descents? Look no further than Whyte's latest Karve RS electric trail and enduro bike. Harnessing the brand-new power of DJI's Avinox M2S motor, the Karve RS boasts peak torque of 150Nm and peak power at 1300W, giving you confidence in the climbs and the extra boosts you need to keep going all day long. The 800Wh battery is compact with a low-weight design that assists in keeping the handling of the bike agile.
Built with a strong, lightweight carbon frame and designed with Shape.It Link flip-chip adjustable geometry to suit your riding preferences or needs-must adaptions to terrain, you can slacken the head angle by 0.6 degrees and lower the bottom bracket by 8mm in the low position. Choose between maximum stability and a planted feel on the low setting, or opt for the higher position that'll offer you improved pedal cleareance and more efficient riding for those long days out on the hill. With 160mm travel in the RockShox Lyrik Select fork and the RockShox Super Deluxe Select, and beefy 29er Maxxis Assegai tyres, your confidence will soar with the stability. Plus, if you prefer a mixed wheel set-up and want to swap the rear wheel for a more agile 27.5", the Karve RS is ready for that change, too.
With a SRAM Eagle 90 mechanical 1x12 transmission and Maven Base 4-piston hydraulic brakes, the Karve RS offers smooth, reliable shifting and efficient stopping power that continues to work hard during a range of conditions. Delivering optimised handling, powerful assistance when you need it and maximum enjoyment along the trail, the Karve RS 2027 Mountain E-Bike is ideal for e-MTB enthusiasts looking to secure their latest mid-travel, full-power enduro-capable bike.
