A Best-in-Class Uplift Crusher or Enduro Beast?
Whyte’s E-180 platform is a trusted eMTB stage, with multiple price points and builds rolling out over the past few years. The new aluminum E-180 RSX, however, promises to be an unbeatable bargain with a performance-driven spec that won't leave you wanting for a thing. Previously, we tested the Whyte E-180 Works MX a couple of years back and were left impressed by its "monster truck suspension performance with enough pop to keep it lively."
The Bosch CX motor's power and the 750Wh battery offers speed and efficiency on climbs, allowing you to tackle the trails with ease, and potentially bypassing the need for uplifts.
Dreamy Build: Spec Leaves Nothing to be Desired
To complement the impressive basics, this bike comes with high-end Fox Factory suspension (180 mm 38 fork and 170 mm Float X2 shock for unmatched control). The E-180 RSX is designed for super-enduro, serene shredding, and its Bosch Performance CX motor (Max torque: 85Nm, Max power: 600W) might make you question whether you even need uplifts at all.
Additionally, the RSX features SRAM's X01 Eagle AXS wireless electronic transmission — even sporting the latest T-Type iteration. SRAM Code RSC four-pot brakes with a 220mm front rotor handle stopping duties.
The MX (mullet) wheel setup is standard, courtesy of DT Swiss e-bike specific wheels, and they grip the terrain with Maxxis 3C Assegai WT TR tires — enduro-ready tires with MaxxGrip and sturdy casing.
The flip-chip adjustable geometry means you can customize the bike’s ride dynamics without disturbing its suspension performance. The bottom bracket can be raised or lowered by 8mm, and the geometry slackened by 0.6° to ensure compatibility with the terrain you're tearing through. Approximately 26.1 kg of beastly bicycle will be yours for the taking (size M). Needless to say, the ultimate bike park ripper is waiting for you, and with a lifetime frame warranty on the frame and pivot bearings, you can ride with peace of mind.
More details on this bike, along with its less expensive sibling (£4,499), can be found on Whyte's website, but keep in mind that only Whyte dealers carry these bikes. So grab your gear, and ride the Whyte E-180 RSX on the trails of your dreams!
