For This Bike
Sep 2021 · Mick Kirkman
The Whyte E-180 RS V3 is self-shuttling gravity enduro machine with 170mm travel out back, paired with a 180mm fork and the Bosch system.
One of the best long travel e-bikes on the market. Sublime suspension matched with ultimate control.
In some situations, this much suspension, strength and capability requires some serious manhandling. Could be even better with a 29in front wheel.

Burly, Bosch-powered bike that’s ready to get rowdy
Spec
Removeable Bosch motor
Balanced feel and dimensions
Weight limits flickability
I’d boost the rear brake rotor size to 220mm

Every inch of the Whyte E-180 RS V1 is trimmed to the bike's downhill performance. Can you even have fun with such a 180 mm travel beast outside of a bike park?
Mountain bike-like handling
Sensible and robust componentry
It won't hold you back
Rudimentary finish
Only two frame sizes
