Whyte Karve EVO RS

The Whyte Karve EVO RS delivers extreme exhilaration and exceptional performance in a more accessible package.

Performance

The Karve EVO RS is built to dominate gravity terrain. With 180mm of travel at both ends, a stiff chassis and RockShox Select level suspension, it delivers confident control on steep, technical trails. The Avinox motor provides full torque assistance for rapid self shuttling and powerful acceleration, letting you stack more laps and push harder on every descent.

Comfort

Proportional sizing ensures consistent handling and rider balance across all frame sizes, while the adjustable geometry allows fine tuning for different terrain and riding styles. The suspension is tuned for sensitivity and support, smoothing out rough ground and maintaining traction. The wireless cockpit and integrated display keep the setup clean and intuitive.

Design

The carbon front triangle and aluminium rear end create a strong, durable platform ready for aggressive riding. The mixed wheel setup blends agility with rollover performance, and the option to convert to full 29er adds versatility. Every detail is built for reliability, control and the demands of high speed gravity riding.
