The ten out of tens and five out of fives review scores our bikes have been getting are partly down to another set of numbers. The ones that make up Whyte’s unique geometry and ride character. Whether it’s our Alp taming, EWS thoroughbred G-180 series bikes, our exceptional Urban Commuters or our mould-breaking e-MTBs, every Whyte is designed to create a unique chemistry with its rider to let you go faster, further and more comfortably in total confidence.
The ultimate E-160
Powerful, agile and balanced, the E-160 RSX is the ultimate all-rounder - not just a jack of all trades, but a master. Whether you're thrashing the hills, racing e-enduro between the tapes or having a blast on back-country singletrack, E-160 RSX is engineered to give you the confidence to push the envelope, everywhere.

- Ready to smash your PB
When you feel good, you ride your best. So for the E-160 RSX we've dressed the bike with the finest, trail-proven parts for perfect grip, feedback, and control to help do just that: SRAM GX T-Type AXS 1x12 wireless electronic gearing, DT Swiss wheels, Maxxis tyres, Whyte custom-tuned Fox Performance Elite suspension, SRAM Code RSX brakes, Crankbrothers Highline dropper post, and more - all combined and tuned with the singular focus of inspiring your best, every ride.
Confidence on any terrain
Our Total Geometry approach gives the E-160 RSX a generous reach, reassuring head angle and short offset fork, making it the most confidence-inspiring, nimble e-bike we’ve ever made. We’ve also given the E-160 RSX a rock-bottom centre of gravity by optimising the distribution of the battery and motor mass within the chassis. So you can expect exceptional cornering agility and a planted feel on even the choppiest terrain. You can also adjust the bike's geometry using its Shape.It Link ‘flip-chip’ geometry adjust (switchable from the stock 'High' setting to 'Low' to slacken the bike out by 0.6 degrees and lower the bottom bracket by 8mm) for even more gravity-focused handling.
Engineered for life
We’ve engineered the E-160 RSX not just to perform today but for every day you want to ride it – for years to come. Everything from making the day-to-day tasks simple and easy – like hassle-free battery installation/removal, keeping room for a water bottle in the main frame, and in-the-bike-charging – to standing behind you for the long haul with the best rider support out there, four-year extended frame warranty and our lifetime warranty on bearings for total peace of mind. Because when a bike is this good you’ll want to ride it as much as possible.
Smartly connected
With the Bosch Smart System – which links up the E-160 RSX’s bar-mounted LED Remote, battery and motor via the companion 'eBike Flow' app – you can have even more information at your fingertips to manage, tailor and personalise your bike just how you want: tune the motor support levels; keep track of your bike’s performance and battery consumption; plan and navigate routes; keep your software up to date. And much, much more.
