  • Well-tuned suspension system

  • Low centre of gravity enhances handling

  • High-quality build kit

Cons
  • Heavy weight

  • Limited frame sizes

  • Rudimentary finish

Key Quotes
The Whyte E-180 RS v3 is a hard-charging monster truck suited to outright speed on the gnarliest descents.
BikeRadar logoBikeRadar
It’s not the total weight but its distribution that’s crucial: thanks to the super low placement of the battery, the Whyte’s handling is phenomenal.

Whyte E-180 RS V3 review: self-shuttling enduro bike? You bet! - MBR

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.

Highs
  • One of the best long travel e-bikes on the market. Sublime suspension matched with ultimate control.

Lows
  • In some situations, this much suspension, strength and capability requires some serious manhandling. Could be even better with a 29in front wheel.

Whyte E-180 RS V1 in Review

Dec 2019 · Felix Stix, Robin Schmitt, Jonas Müssig

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?

Highs
  • Mountain bike-like handling

  • Sensible and robust componentry

  • It won't hold you back

Lows
  • Rudimentary finish

  • Only two frame sizes

  • Loud on the descents
