NEW : WHYTE KADO S & KADO RSX E-MTB | If you can dream it, you can do it

Brand New From Whyte

The KADO S & KADO RSX Electric Mountain Bikes

If you can dream it, you can do it

With an all-new, ground-up design, the latest fifth generation Bosch Performance Line CX motor and batteries, a choice of frame materials (full carbon fibre, carbon/alloy mix, and full aluminium), a low centre of gravity for
the best handling, curated parts and much more, Kado has been created to help you realise your riding dreams.

Kado at a glance

Rides like a dream
Whyte have poured everything into Kado to give you the best handling and ride performance possible: an optimised low centre of gravity which is even lower and more central than the outgoing E-160; custom-tuned suspension; confidence-inspiring geometry, and much more. All masterfully combined to help you realise your riding dreams

Go the distance
With up to 800Wh* internal battery as standard and compatibility with Bosch’s aftermarket 250Wh ‘PowerMore’ range extender (available separately), Kado is ready to give you up to 1050Wh of combined battery capacity. All so you can ride as far as your imagination can take you.

Unparalleled refinement
The very latest Bosch motor and battery technologies deliver you the most refined, reliable and efficient motor performance. 600W peak power. 85Nm of torque. All tuneable to your tastes via the Bosch eBike Flow app and ready to be optimised further via incoming software updates.

Master any terrain
Whatever you dream of, Kado can help you conquer even the roughest, most technical terrain with its perfect triad of traction, power and control. Our confidence-inspiring Total Geometry handling; 160mm/150mm of custom-tuned suspension travel; feedback-rich and powerful four-pot hydraulic brakes; the refined power delivery of Bosch’s latest CX motor.

Removable battery
We’ve made removing Kado’s internal slide-in internal battery a cinch for storage, battery swaps, or off-the-bike charging: just open the battery cover, unclip the battery connector, undo the captive bolt, and slide the battery out. Simple. By not cutting a compromising hole in the downtube, we’ve also maximised the frame’s strength and minimised its weight.

Made to last
Engineered for longevity and reliability to stay on the trail – and out of the workshop. Whyte have designed, tested, and proven every Kado in their native UK, riding all year round through the best and the worst of conditions. Riding through the foulest winters means they’ve added a whole host of weather-proofing touches that may not grab headlines but will keep you riding sweeter and for longer.

All-new chassis
Kado’s chassis is ground-up, brand-new and available in three choices of materials to suit different tastes and budgets: full carbon (Kado RSX), carbon front triangle/alloy rear triangle (Kado RS), and full aluminium (Kado S).

Kado frame features

Choice of carbon or alloy frames
Three models, three frame material choices: full-carbon fibre (Kado RSX), carbon/alloy mix (Kado RS), and full aluminium (Kado S) frames in a choice of colours so you can choose what suits you best.

Removeable internal battery
Easy to remove internal batteries make life a simple for charging or storing the batteries off the bike, as well as for car park or mid-ride battery swaps.

Low centre of gravity
A lower centre of gravity delivers a better handling and more confidence-inspiring ride in all situations. Custom-tuned suspension Whyte custom-tuned rear suspension delivers perfect performance, wherever the trail takes you.

29er wheels
29er carbon wheels front and rear that are light, tough and compliant to give you every advantage across any trail.

Geometry adjustment

Switch from ‘High’ to ‘Low’ – to slacken geo by 0.6º and lower the bottom bracket by 8mm – for more gravity-friendly handling.

Takes a waterbottle
Take water with you on any Kado with space for a water bottle on every frame size.

Tube-in-tube internal cable routing
Carbon Kado’s have fully lined internal hose and cable runs through both the frame’s front and rear triangles to make cable and hose changes as easy as A-B-C.

Switchable rear wheel
You can swap the rear wheelsize by changing the ‘Shape.It’ link to go from full 29er front and rear to MX (aka ‘mixed wheels – 29in front, 27.5in rear).

All Kado bikes are ready to convert to a MX (aka mullet) wheel set-up (29in front, 27.5in rear wheel) so you can tailor their ride to exactly how you want – and all without affecting the geometry or the suspension kinematics. Just replace the bike’s stock Shape.It Link with our Shape.It Link L (62-66mm), together with a suitable ASTM/EN17406 rated rear wheel (category 4, enduro) laced with an eBike rated rear hub.
