Whyte E-180 Works V2 Electric Bike

The ultimate e-enduro machine

Built around the first ever competition e-enduro engine - the Performance Line CX Race Limited Edition motor from Bosch - and dressed in a zero compromise, maximum performance build, our top-of-the range E-180 Works is the ultimate super e-enduro race bike designed, developed and tested for - and by - the fastest riders on the fiercest courses.

Features

Optimised low centre of gravity gives you untouchable gravity handling.

180mm front + 170mm rear of trail-dominating suspension travel.

Multi-butted 6061 T-6 aluminium hydroformed frame is built to last.

Bosch Performance Line CX Race Limited Edition 85Nm motor (600W peak power) for game-changing race performance.

750Wh battery gives you the range to get more runs in between charges.

MX wheels (29er front, 27.5in rear) so you can tackle everything full-gas - no matter how rowdy or steep.

Peerless performance

Featuring our latest gravity frameset, the E-180 Works' frame maximises the advantage of our unique tilted motor and super low-slung battery arrangement – which brings the bike’s centre of gravity as low as possible – to deliver you ultra-stable, dynamically centred and confident handling on any terrain. Our ‘in-tube’ battery design also creates a stronger, sleeker, smarter frame that exceeds the highest safety levels by nearly 250% in some areas; vital when racing events that are longer, harder and more brutal than any other in mountain biking.

Engineered so you can commit

The E-180 S's frameset maximises the advantage of our unique tilted motor and super low-slung battery arrangement, which brings the bike’s centre of gravity as low as possible, to deliver you ultra-stable, dynamically centred and confident handling at any speed and on any terrain while short 155mm cranks deliver maximum pedal control and ground clearance. Our innovative in-tube battery frame design is also far stronger and stiffer than open tube frames, surviving near-metric ton slam loads in testing so you can feel totally safe full sending on the hill.

Made for racing

The Bosch Performance Line CX Race Limited Edition motor delivers more power, more quickly and for longer from a lighter block. So you can accelerate harder, hold top speed better and even kick-boost through technical sections you can’t pedal and literally leave the competition standing. The 750Wh battery gives hours of power on hardcore race stages and epic liaisons, and our Axial Rail slide-in battery system makes mid-race battery switches super easy. Whyte engineer and two-time British Enduro Series Champion, Sam Shucksmith, has also meticulously tuned the E-180 Works' suspension to deliver the very highest level of support, grip, speed, and control right from the startline.

Switcheable geometry

Our Shape.It link ‘flip-chip’ allows you to change the geometry of the bike easily and quickly without affecting the suspension kinematics by raising or lowering the Bottom Bracket (BB) height. By using the shock extender and effectively moving the eye-to-eye length of the shock, the BB can be lifted or lowered – and all without affecting the suspension kinematics. Switch it between high and low positions to slacken the bike out by 0.6 degrees and lower the BB by 8mm so you can tailor the geometry to the terrain you're tackling.
