Whyte Karve EVO RSX Electric Mountain Bike

The Whyte Karve EVO RSX is the top tier model in the Karve lineup, built for riders who want maximum capability on the steepest, roughest and most demanding terrain. With a gravity first chassis, 180 mm of custom-tuned suspension and the full-torque Avinox drive system, the RSX is engineered for self-shuttled riding and big-mountain days where control, confidence and power matter most. It climbs with ease, descends with authority and turns every extreme line into a thrill ride.

Performance

With 180 mm of custom-tuned suspension travel at both ends, the Karve EVO RSX is built to handle the steepest chutes, biggest compressions and roughest rock gardens. The RockShox ZEB Ultimate fork and Vivid Ultimate shock deliver exceptional support and sensitivity, giving the bike a planted, confident feel at high speed. The mixed-wheel setup maximises stability up front and agility at the rear, while the carbon-and-alloy chassis keeps weight balanced and responsive on technical terrain.

Range and Efficiency

The 800 Wh internal battery provides the range needed for long days in the mountains, allowing more laps, more elevation and more time on the steepest trails. Paired with the Avinox system’s efficient power delivery and 12A fast charger, the RSX keeps you riding longer and waiting less. Five assistance modes – Auto, Eco, Trail, Turbo and Boost – let you tailor support to the terrain and your riding style.

Control and Connectivity

The Avinox DP100 OLED touchscreen display delivers clear, customisable ride data directly from the top tube. Wireless controls keep the cockpit clean, while the system’s intelligent assistance modes adapt support in real time. Whether you are climbing, descending or navigating technical traverses, the RSX provides precise control and seamless integration between rider and bike.

Design

The Karve EVO RSX features a uni-directional carbon front triangle paired with a durable 6061 T6 aluminium rear, offering the ideal balance of stiffness, strength and compliance. Geometry adjustment allows riders to fine-tune handling, while the DT Swiss Hybrid MX wheelset provides maximum confidence on steep terrain with full 29er compatibility. Factory-fitted RideWrap protection ensures the frame stays in top condition, even when the riding gets rowdy.
